CircuitMess Codee is a DIY kit that lets you build and code your own virtual pet. You'll learn about electronics, real-time clocks, and low-power technology while creating a digital companion. Codee comes with pre-loaded games, and you can create your own.

Building Codee provides a hands-on introduction to several important electronics and programming concepts. You'll learn about real-time clocks (RTCs), which are used to keep track of time in electronic devices. You'll also explore low-power technology, understanding how to design circuits that conserve energy. Furthermore, you will be introduced to electronics and coding. Finally, you'll get practical experience assembling electronic components.

Codee's a great project for anyone 7 and up who's curious about electronics and coding. While the instructions are clear, the kit does involve working with small parts and understanding some technical concepts. Younger kids could get involved with a grown-up's help. It's also a fun build for adults who are into DIY projects.

You don't need any previous experience to assemble Codee. We've designed the kit with beginners in mind, and the detailed instructions will guide you through each step of the process.

Building Codee is a relatively quick project, typically taking around 30 minutes. Once assembled, you can start caring for your virtual pet and exploring the pre-loaded games.

Yes, creating custom games is a core part of the Codee experience. We provide you with CircuitBlocks, a visual coding tool that simplifies the process, especially for beginners. More experienced users also have the option to code in Python, giving you a lot of flexibility in how you program your virtual pet.
