  • micro:bit
  • microB USB cable for power/programming
  • 2 x AAA battery holder for mobile power
  • 2 x AAA batteries
  • Kitronik Inventor's Kit for micro:bit

Features:

  • No soldering required - build your first circuit in minutes!
  • Make 10 experiments included in the provided step-by-step tutorial book.
  • All parts are included to conduct the 10 experiments (listed below).
  • Breaks out 21 accessible pins from the micro:bit using the Edge Connector Board for the micro:bit (included).
  • Small Prototype Breadboard included for fast prototyping.

All of the experiments included in this booklet (listed below) are based on the Microsoft BlockEditor and Microsoft TouchDevelop editor software.

Experiments included in the tutorial book:
