The microcontroller included with your Simon Tilts is actually re-
programable with Arduino. This is the same microcontroller that is used in
the RedBoard SIK. This means that if you wanted to, you could use the
skills learned in the SIK to modify your Simon Tilts. For example, you could
change the way the game plays or use it for an entirely different project!
