Product description
Robotics Workshop with micro:bit – Build, Code, Innovate! If your kids love taking things apart and figuring out how they work, the Robotics Workshop with micro:bit is one of those rare kits that truly grows with them. In our house, this quickly became the centerpiece of our STEM afternoons — spreading parts across the table, building a robot, then cheering when the code finally made it move just right. It’s hands-on engineering, real coding, and creative problem-solving all rolled into one powerful learning experience. Designed for both home and classroom use, this intuitive yet robust kit walks learners through building and programming real robots while introducing industry-relevant coding languages in a way that feels accessible and exciting. Includes: • m icro:bit Microcontroller – The tiny but mighty “brain” of every robot, complete with LED display and built-in sensors. • 248 Durable Building Pieces – Snap-together components that are reusable, sturdy, and endlessly versatile. • Motors & Sensors: 2 Direct-Drive Motors for movement 1 Precision Servo Motor for accurate control 2 Ultrasonic Sensors for obstacle detection • Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Batteries – For extended, uninterrupted building sessions. • 32-Page Full-Color Manual – Step-by-step illustrated instructions for building and coding 14 motorized robots. • Access to MakeCode Platform – Free, web-based programming using block coding, Python, or JavaScript. Key Features: Real Coding Skills: Start with visual block coding, then advance naturally into Python and JavaScript — the same languages used in today’s tech industry. Engineering in Action: Build 14 guided robot models, then design and invent your own creations from scratch. Sensor-Based Learning: Explore motion, distance, sound, light, and more using real robotic sensors. Highly Accessible: MakeCode runs on any device (including Chromebooks) with no special software required. Built to Last: Durable, reusable components designed for years of learning and experimentation. Why Families Love It: • Encourages critical thinking, logic, and persistence. • Blends engineering, coding, and creativity seamlessly. • Works beautifully for independent learners or group projects. • Grows with your child — beginner-friendly but never limiting. • Brings real-world technology into hands-on learning at home. Bring engineering and coding to life with the Robotics Workshop with micro:bit . Whether you’re homeschooling, supplementing classroom learning, or nurturing a future engineer, this kit offers a deep, engaging dive into robotics that inspires confidence and curiosity every step of the way. Note: Recommended for ages 8–18+ . Ideal for solo exploration or collaborative learning. Internet-enabled device required; MakeCode is free and web-based.
