Ryanteck SnowPi, The GPIO Snowman For Raspberry Pi

SnowPi is a beginner-friendly soldering kit that creates a GPIO-controlled snowman for your Raspberry Pi. Once assembled, the 9 LEDs can be individually controlled using Python and GPIO Zero, making it both a soldering project and a programming learning tool.

The kit is designed for soldering beginners, with simple through-hole components and clear instructions. Experienced makers can complete it in about 15 minutes, while beginners should allow 45–60 minutes.
