Meet the world’s coolest coding lessons
Fun, educational & undeniably annoying
The premise for our lessons is simple: what if learning about coding and electronics wasn’t boring? We aim to teach projects that will make your child’s eyes will light up as they build new inventions, tweak them, and grow their coding superpowers.
Packed with endless hours of fun
Our project inventions can be built and re-built. Kids learn about code while having fun. Half the enjoyment comes from the testing performed on family members or friends. Projects can then be customised to make them even better (i.e., more annoying).
What you can create
The burglar alarm you don’t remember installing. The rooster you never knew you had. The chirping cricket you can never find. Plus many, many more.
Exciting activities guaranteed to keep them entertained
What we teach is educational, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
Set it to 110%
Your child will enjoy our coding challenges which guide them through making their own modifications and tweaks to the inventions.
Meet the creator
The kit was created by a kid – just like them. Michael features in all the instructional videos and adds a unique, personal touch to the experience.
Coding adventures and so much more
Kids will learn about code through both block and text based coding. We’ve built our own block coding editor specifically with kids in mind. They’ll have access to this beyond the lessons. So they can continue learning and exploring!

Straight from the mind of a fourteen-year-old Australian inventor
Watch this short video to learn more about the kit from its teen inventor and EduKits founder, Michael Nixon.
Fosters STEM skills critical for tomorrow’s jobs
Logic
Coding is all about logic, knowing which order things should happen in. You can’t whisk an egg before you crack it – code has similar patterns.
Creativity
Our lessons encourage kids to experiment and make each invention their own. We show them what different bits of code do and how to change them up.
Inventiveness
There are endless ways to use coding software. Kids will get inventive disguising their creations and pranking friends and family.
Problem Solving
With tech, things don’t always go to plan. Coding errors can yield hilarious, unexpected results but are also powerful learning opportunities.
You may have seen us around, already
The Amazing Annoyatron’s inventor has been featured in countless shows, magazines and publications, in addition to winning multiple awards.
He’s appeared on the TODAY Show, won a National iAward and has inventions listed as one of the Top 10 Toys of 2018.
Frequently asked questions
When we named this product, we knew there’d be questions. Here are some of the most common ones we’re asked by customers.
What’s the recommended age group?
Our lessons are best for children aged 9 or above. The inventions require your child to be able to read and write in order to follow along. It’s still a fun activity for younger children, especially if they’re tech-savvy, just expect to help with most of the steps.
What type of code will my child learn?
We generally get this question from engineers and people with past coding experience. Our activities work with C++, but don’t worry – kids aren’t writing entire programs from scratch. We supply ‘starting code’, then guide users through changing different parts and parameters.
How annoying are the projects?
We teach a number of inventions which can make reasonably-loud noises, the ‘Burglar Alarm’ being one example. However, we have instructions on how to fix the volume if that’s a problem. The noise is pretty harmless, and most of the inventions are annoying but quiet.
Was the Annoyatron really created by a kid?
Yes, even though it sounds like some marketing ploy. The entire product – including packaging, graphics, instructions and video – were created by EduKits’ founder when he was just fourteen years old. If you’re interested, you can read more about his story.
