I assume you mean the Mega 2560.

That's their cheapest kit, seems adequate.? ?
Note the solderless breadboard and pre-cut wires with header pins.
No need to spend a day with soldering iron and wire strippers to make it do something.
To really get a feel for what a computer is, download the processor datasheet and read the?
half dozen pages that describe the "AVR Core" starting on page 11.
? ??
Then write a simple Arduino program for it and generate an assembly language listing of
your compiled C code, figure out what's going on.? The Arduino forums would be a good?
place to go for help on this.?
That's a good solid introduction to computers.
The full set of modern programming tools available for free with Ubuntu are very powerful
and highly recommended, but it's hard to ever touch bottom.?
You might never really know what a computer -is-.

I have the Elegoo Mega 2650 progect kit and what I really like about the elegoo kits is their tutorial that comes with the kit. It is made for the board you get and you get everything needed to do the tutorials.
