Micro:bit Starter Kit (micro:bit board not included)

Micro:bit: the starter kit that opens up a world of experimentation

The micro:bit kit for beginners contains over 20 electrical components, including diodes, LEDs, a motor and servo, a temperature sensor, pushbutton switches, etc. There is also a breadboard and all the necessary connection cables for carrying out your first electronic and electrical experiments.

The micro:bit Starter Kit not only helps you understand how each component works, but also teaches you how to include them in circuits of increasing complexity that you can design yourself.

One teaching aid, 13 lessons

In addition to all this equipment, the micro:bit Starter Kit offers a fun learning programme with 13 lessons serving various purposes. Students acquire knowledge progressively as a result of practice and experimentation.

The lessons will teach them how to connect an electric motor to a pushbutton switch, make several LEDs flash alternately, and display data collected by a temperature sensor.

This starter kit is accessible from the age of 10.
