Our Kit: Powering Young Innovators

The micro:bit v2: Our Foundation for Learning

At the heart of our robotics kit is the micro:bit v2 from BBC. We chose this powerful little device for its child-friendly design and intuitive interface. It comes with a bundled sensor package including an accelerometer, compass, and temperature sensor, making it perfect for a wide range of projects.

The micro:bit v2 offers:

• Native support for block coding, ideal for beginners
• An extensive library of tutorials designed specifically for STEM teaching
• Versatile programming options, from visual blocks to Python
• Built-in Bluetooth for wireless connectivity

Easy-to-Use Block Coding

The micro:bit v2 shines with its intuitive block coding interface. This visual programming method allows children to grasp coding concepts quickly and easily. By dragging and dropping blocks, young learners can create complex programs without the need to memorize syntax.

As students progress, they can seamlessly transition to text-based programming with Python, providing a smooth learning curve from beginner to advanced coding skills.

Super:bit Expansion Kit: Unleash Your Creativity

To complement the micro:bit v2, we use the Super:bit expansion kit. This amazing addition takes our robotics capabilities to the next level by offering:

• Compatibility with Lego Technic style pieces for versatile robot designs
• Functionality that rivals or surpasses Lego Mindstorms and Lego Prime
• Plug-and-play simplicity for easy assembly and modification
• A safe and child-friendly experience with no soldering required
