Microbit is a tiny programmable computer, designed to make learning and teaching easy and fun! This Microbit Quick Start Kit is a STEAM education kit designed to include everything you need to build your first Microbit STEM project, featuring sound, light and motion elements. It is the perfect project set for primary and secondary school students to learn coding, microcontroller, LED, sensor, and motor.
This kit INCLUDES micro:bit board. With Microbit board and USB micro B cable included in this kit, you can start coding and having fun with Microbit's LEDs, buttons, and on-board sensors right away. Four AA batteries and AA battery holder with ON/OFF switch come in handy when you need to power up your portable projects. Since AA batteries have much higher capacity compared to AAA, your experiments and projects will last longer too.
This kit also comes with a little quick start guide booklet to help anyone to get started without a hassle.
The 5x5 LED matrix on Microbit board, coupled with piezo buzzer included in this kit serves a good deal in adding visual and audio effects to your applications. There are tons of emoticons and melodies in MakeCode Editor at your disposal. Students will enjoy learning art, music, and coding, all at the same time.
Can Microbit move? Not by itself, but 'Yes' if you add a micro servo motor to it. This kit comes with a 3V micro servo with a special extension cable for easy connection using crocodile clips. On top of all the components in this kit, the box itself is creatively designed to be part of your project too. Let's start making and coding with Microbit Quick Start Kit!
