Ever wanted to create a level or map for your favorite game, or make your favorite character jump higher? Now is your chance!

Education Kits!

We want to help you use Arduboy to teach kids how to program! What better way to engage young people in software development by giving them the power define their own game world? Children love to create, and Arduboy helps make creating games more fun and accessible than ever.

To encourage the use of Arduboy in classrooms we are offering an education kit reward that includes 10 Arduboys at the same price as our early bird units. But that’s not all we also will provide a printed booket and free online coursework for an entire lesson plan for learning C++ on the Arduboy!

Custom Branding!

If you want the coolest business card on the planet or are looking for the perfect promotional item for your business then this deal is for you!

High-Tech, Low-Cost!

Fitting the same dimensions of a credit card (85.60×53.98 mm), the Arduboy is built to be as thin as possible yet incredibly durable. We spent an entire year working out the best way to balance thickness, durability, practicality, and cost and we are very proud of this result. At only 5mm thick, we have achieved a device that can live in your pocket (or even wallet) thinner than any mobile phone! In the future we want to work to trim this down, but that will take a lot more work and a little bit of magic!
