Being written

Kit and coding guides are on the way

Eaglets is rebuilding its learning library from scratch. Every guide gets tested on a current kit and reviewed for accuracy before it goes up here, so this section fills in gradually rather than all at once.

Need something specific in the meantime? Ask us. We would rather send you the right thing directly than post something we have not checked.

Using this material

Eaglets curriculum and guides are written by students for Eaglets programs. If you are a teacher or another organization and want to use something here, get in touch first. We are usually glad to say yes, and we would rather know where it is being used so we can tell you when it changes.

Every resource lists its own reuse terms and the kit version it was written for. A guide written for an older kit may not match the hardware in front of you.
