# Before you begin...

The following collection of instructions, pictures and videos will walk you through opening the kit and getting to know the hardware, to building and setting up your Chatterbox and finally walk you through the basic of teaching your Chatterbox.

We've worked hard to make Chatterbox educational, fun and easy as possible, but with all DIY (do-it-yourself) project kits there can be challenges that will require learning, critical thinking and a bit of perseverance. We are constantly updating and improving these instructions based on the feedback and suggestions from our community of users around the world and in schools.

We are here to here to help and support you in every way possible and hope that you enjoy the process of problem solving and learning!

If you have any issues while building and setting up your kit, please review our [help section](https://chatterbox.gitbook.io/chatterbox/troubleshooting/help) or email us at <support@hellochatterbox.com>.

Thank you for your support!
