Edu:bit Training & Project Kit for micro:bit

Edu:bit Training & Project Kit for micro:bit (with English learning booklet)

This beginner-friendly micro:bit kit is specially designed to encourage children to explore STEAM/STEM and learn programming.

You can easily program EDU:BIT with the Microsoft MakeCode Editor. Just add the EDU:BIT MakeCode Extension and you're ready to go. If you are a beginner, you can start with the block programming mode; simply drag and drop the coding blocks together and snap them into place. Advanced users can easily switch to JavaScript or Python modein the MakeCode Editor.

This kit includes a booklet in English with 10+1 hands-on programming lessons that are creatively structured to teach the basics of programming in a fun and engaging way. Each chapter includes a classic game such as rock-paper-scissors, ladder game, twister and "Simon says". Follow the step-by-step instructions to create the games and then have fun playing them with your friends!

*Game accessories are included in this kit. At the end of each chapter there is a challenge where you have to apply what you have learned to create a useful application for your classroom. Give it a try!

The fun with EDU:BIT is right out of the box. Start programming immediately and watch your board light up and play a tune at the touch of a button. When used as a training kit, no wiring is required. Can't control the servo motor and play music on your micro:bit at the same time? A servo motor refuses to move properly? Worry no more! EDU:BIT takes care of these problems with its dedicated controller and power supply. It can even support up to 3 servo motors and 2 DC motors to power any creative projects you create.

Each function and its corresponding Microbit IO pin are clearly labeled on the board, making them easy to find. In addition, EDU:BIT incorporates indicator LEDs to make troubleshooting digital and analog IO pins easy.

Ready to build your own projects? You can break off the modules on the EDU:BIT board for more flexibility in project design. Plug-and-play cables are included to connect the broken bits to the mainboard.

And last but not least, we even offer a special place on EDU:BIT where you can write your name. Get yours today!
