Four kits, one path.

Start at the beginning and move up only when your child is ready. Every kit comes with everything needed to build it, and lessons written so a complete beginner can follow along on their own.

Kit 1 · Beginner · Ages 8 to 12

Robotics and coding, from scratch

This is where everyone starts. Your child gets a light blinking, then plays with buttons, sensors and sound, and finishes by building a desk guardian that senses when someone comes near and raises the alarm. Everything is in one box. Twelve lessons, no soldering, nothing extra to buy.

The Basic Starter Kit box with the Arduino board, breadboard, sensors and parts
What is in the box
  • Arduino UNO R3 board and USB cablethe brain
  • Breadboard and 30 resistorsto build on
  • 5 coloured LEDs and an RGB LEDlights
  • 7-segment number displayshow numbers
  • Active and passive buzzerssound
  • Temperature and humidity sensorsenses the air
  • Sound, light and proximity sensorssenses the world
  • Potentiometer, buttons and a tilt switchcontrols

One complete kit. Nothing else to buy to finish all twelve lessons.

What your child learns
How circuits workReading sensorsTheir first codeFixing their own mistakesBuilding something real

Twelve lessons take your child from their first blinking light to a desk guardian that senses and reacts. Each one builds something that works, then invites them to change it and make it their own. Finish all twelve and earn a certificate of completion.

Kit 2 · Robot builder · Ages 10 to 15

Build a robot that drives

The ACEBOTT Smart Car, built and ready to drive

Your child puts together a real robot car with motors and wheels, then teaches it to drive, follow a line and avoid walls. It is built on the ACEBOTT Smart Car, which we stock and are an authorised distributor for. The car is complete on its own, and when your child has mastered driving it, there is a whole shelf of upgrades that bolt onto it.

In the box
  • ACEBOTT Smart Car starter kit, completeR1,400
Upgrades for later (each needs the car first)
  • Wireless controller with joysticksR850
  • Robot arm that picks things upR700
  • HD camera for seeing and trackingR550
  • Solar power packR900
  • Water ball launcherR900

R1,400 to start, at GAMERIFT prices (2026). Upgrades are optional and can come later, one birthday at a time. Prefer legs to wheels? Ask us about the walking spider robot.

Kit 3 · Smart maker · Ages 12 to 16

Make a smart home that senses and reports

Your child builds a small wooden house that connects to WiFi, opens its door with an RFID card, and senses and reports to a phone. It is the same idea behind real smart homes, at desk size, and everything needed is in the one box.

R1,200 at GAMERIFT prices (2026). More into growing things? The smart farm kit, with its solar windmill and automatic watering, is the same price.

Kit 4 · Engineer · Ages 12 and up

A robot arm on their desk

The ACEBOTT programmable robot arm

This is the machine that builds cars and packs warehouses, shrunk to desk size. Your child assembles a programmable robot arm with four joints, then writes the code that makes it pick things up, put them down and repeat the job perfectly. It is how real automation works, and it is oddly satisfying to watch.

In the box
  • ACEBOTT robot arm kit, completeR999

R999 at GAMERIFT prices (2026). Ready for a full computer? We also stock Raspberry Pi, the little machine that runs real Python.

For schools

Buying for a class?

We put together class sets, spare parts and quotes for schools, and the lessons carry the teaching so a teacher new to the subject can still run it. Tell us your grade and budget and we will shape something that fits.
