It's an add-on lets you #MakeRobotFriend using CircuitPython, MakeCode, or Arduino." The Crickit makes it easy to control motors and adds additional power options to drive them! Great for creating small bots or battlebots as my kids do. You can also mount the Circuit Playground Express onto a Crickit which is the " Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It's great for younger kids because you can use alligator clips for the input output pins which means no soldering for easy projects.

One of the devices I keep coming back to is the extremely versatile Circuit Playground Express.
