Okay, so it all totals to $63, but some of the stuff is just recommendation rather than necessity. Arduino, holder, and breadboard alone will get you what we have at school. The jumper wire kit isn't fully needed, but it saves SO much time and energy. The hookup wire is for odd/custom lengths as needed, very nice to have around. The resistor kit has basically any resistor you'd EVER need for breadboarding. 9V battery holder has a barrel jack that plugs right into the Arduino, lets you run your programs without it being plugged in to a computer, but it's just a convenience thing. LEDs and buttons are staple parts of any breadboarding kit, but don't bother with them if you have some of your own already. Same thing with the Trimpot, although I suggest keeping that because it's cheap and you can do all sorts of fun things with it like metronome-style timings and other stuff. Also, if you plan on breadboarding more than just the Arduino, you might wanna buy a bigger breadboard sometime, but this size board fits right in the case. Also, technically this isn't an official Arduino board, but it functions identically. If that difference matters to you, you can buy one from the official site here: http://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/a000066
