Official Raspberry Pi Foundation Raspberry Pi 5 Case + Fan: Keep your Raspberry Pi® 5 computer safe and snug in this solid ABS acrylic enclosure. You can even pick up the official active cooler to super-charge your Pi 5 projects and stay frosty even under computational intensity.
This case keeps your Pi secure, has labeled holes for connector access, and even comes with four little bumper feet. You can use all of the connectors on the edges of the Pi: microHDMI, USB-C power, Ethernet, and USB ports.
The updated case for Raspberry Pi 5 builds on the aesthetic of its Raspberry Pi 4 predecessor but adds a host of new usability and thermal-management features.
Programming the Pico: Learn Coding & Electronics w/ the Pico – 2nd Edition by Simon Monk: This book will teach you Python programming and some basic electronics without assuming any prior knowledge of either subject. The book initially focuses on Python programming, building up a Morse Code example using the Raspberry Pi Pico’s built-in LED. Once you have leveled up on the basics of coding the Pico or Pico W, the book will introduce electronics, showing you how to use sensors, switches, LEDs, servomotors, and displays attached to your Pico or Pico W
All the parts used in Programming the Pico: Learn Coding and Electronics with the Raspberry Pi Pico are available in a companion kit by MonkMakes Ltd. available here.
Adafruit Grove and Stemma QT FeatherWing for all Feathers: The Adafruit Grove and Stemma QT FeatherWing for all Feathers allows folks to use many Grove devices with Feather boards! It fits nicely on top and has 3x Analog/Digital connectors, 1x UART connector and 2x I2C connectors. Not a ton, but enough to get many small projects going! We even managed to fit a vertical Stemma QT port on the end for another I2C connection.
Adafruit MCP3421 18-Bit ADC – STEMMA QT / Qwiic: The Adafruit MCP3421 18-Bit ADC is a simple, inexpensive, and easy to use 18-bit, 240 SPS, single-channel ADC with an I2C interface that can run up to 3.4MHz clock rate. A perfect component whenever you need an ADC that has differential inputs, adjustable gain, and a built in precision/low-drift reference voltage.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
