Micro:Bits x30 (3 sets of 30)
The micro:bit is a small hand-held computer. It is great for teaching computing and electronics.
Micro:bits are suitable for students aged 8-14.
There are a huge number of excellent online tutorials and projects. These allow students with reasonable literacy skills to explore and learn at their own pace.
The programming environment has two options. The first is a drag and drop environment that is the same as Scratch. The second is a Python programming environment for students who want to extend themselves. Tutorials are available for both.
A laptop/chromebook is required to program the micro:bits (not provided).
Each micro:bit runs on two AAA batteries. It is the expectation that the borrowing school will replace any flat batteries.

Once students have mastered the basics of the micro:bit, some accessories allow them to explore further allowing for more creativity.
All accessories have online tutorials to guide students through the basics.
These are the accessories we currently have:
Inventor’s kit x4 - these allow students to experiment with electronic circuits
Micro:arcade kit x2 - these include components required to build a micro:bit into a full-fledged game system
