Robotics Workshop with Micro:bit Kit
Build coding skills using versatile kits with 25 built-in LED lights and sensors powered by micro:bit.
Build up to 14 robots, or create your own designs, with interlocking pieces. Incorporate 2 ultrasonic sensors, a servo motor, and a direct-drive motor into creations and power them using micro:bit. Start with simple designs like a robot that draws pictures or uses ultrasound to avoid obstacles. Then move to advanced functions like shooting a ball or picking up objects. Control them wirelessly in real time or directly through USB. Free MakeCode coding platform is web or app-based. Students can begin with block-based coding and progress to Python and JavaScript.
