Question 1

What can i build with it?

Accepted Answer

You are kind of limited in creating stuff if you use only the parts that are included in this kit, but you can still build something great if you use your imagination, this kit is basically only for learning, for example starting with blinking leds and how to program it to do it. One of my first projects was modifying a plasma ball (a toy you can search up in internet) so it would turn on and off in synchronization with some kind of music, i had to modify that toy a bit and build a small circuit on a breadbord using a relay (because including transistors couldn't withstand the voltage), and looked up some tutorials about coding it because programming it was very complex, but in the end it came out great and i have gained a lot of experience. You can just search on youtube "arduino projects" and you will see all the amazing stuff people have made with it.

Question 2

can a ten year old understand the manuel

Accepted Answer

The material is probably targeted to a 7th grade reading level, or a lexile of about 600. Using these kits requires an understanding of discrete electronics and computer programming. If your child hasn't already used the electronic project kits to build things like AM radios or flashing lights, I would start there instead. They would also need to get an understanding of programming basics. It will be a big time investment for you. I'm not saying it can't be done. I was working with electronics at 8, and programming in BASIC at 10.

Question 3

any suggestions for a cheaper but still great starter kit. without needing anything extra to work?

Accepted Answer

The most basic Arduino starter kit is only $34 if you are an Amazon Prime member.  This includes shipping.  I'm not sure where you can get a fully functional micro controller board that includes software examples for less without designing one yourself.

Question 4

is this Arduino Uno R3 board?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ones I received were R3 boards.
