-1. Take the plastic sheet and carefully separate the pieces.
-2. Go on until you've separated all the parts.
-3. Place the pieces marked with an "A" into the holes in the corners, in order to create the feet of the base.
-4. Secure your Arduino UNO to the base using 3 screws (included in the silver pack in this kit). Be careful not to overtighten.
-5. Carefully peel the backing from the breadboard.

+### 1. Separate the plastic pieces
+
+1. Take the plastic sheet and carefully separate the pieces from the sheet by twisting and pressing on them.
+
+2. When you're finished, you should have the following pieces:

-This section contains additional detail for some steps.
+3. The four pieces marked "A" are the "feet" for the project board. The other pieces may be used in projects included with your kit—put them somewhere you can find them later.
 
-### Separating the plastic pieces
+   > [!TIP]
+   > Trim off any plastic that is remaining where the pieces connect to the sheet.
 
-* Carefully twist and press on the pieces to separate them from the sheet.
-* You may need to trim off the plastic that is remaining where the pieces connect to the sheet.
-* When you're finished you should have the following pieces:
+### 2. Attach the feet
 
-![The separated plastic pieces.](img/project-board-pieces.png)
+1. Flip the plastic base over so the Arduino logo is face-down.
+2. Insert the four plastic feet (marked "A") into the holes at each corner of the base.
 
-### Aligning the components
+   <img src="img/project-board-feet.png" alt="Attaching the plastic feet to the project board." width="300">
 
-1. Align the Arduino UNO so that the reset button faces away from the Arduino logo on the project board.
-2. Align the breadboard so that `a1` is next to the reset button on the UNO.
+3. Turn the base right-side up again.
 
-![The reset button, a1 pin connector, and Arduino logo on the project board.](img/project-board-graphic-align.png)
+### 3. Place the UNO and breadboard on the plastic base
 
-Then, insert the three bolts in the holes marked below. No bolt is inserted in the hole above the reset button.
+Before you continue, understand how the UNO board and breadboard should be placed on the plastic base:
 
-### Mount the board
+1. If your UNO board came with a small transparent plastic base, remove it.
 
-* Make sure the screw holes on the UNO are aligned with the three holes on the project board.
-* Do not insert a screw in the hole next to the reset button.
+2. Place the Arduino UNO on the board. The reset button should face away from the Arduino logo.

+
+* **Attach the breadboard**
+
+  1. Carefully peel off the adhesive backing from the breadboard.
+  2. With the `a1` pin connector next to the reset button on the UNO, stick the breadboard onto the plastic base.
+
+Your project board is now assembled.
