micro:bit
The micro:bit is a palm-sized microcontroller with an LED display and a variety of onboard sensors. Featuring an edge connector that allows it to use many more sensors, motors and other devices, it can be programmed to be used in any number of creations.
Students will learn fundamental coding concepts and logical thinking skills as they create various projects designed to extend and build on what they have learnt in previous exercises. A visual programming interface allows students to focus on breaking down and solving problems without worrying about memorising syntax/commands or typo errors.

Sample Projects
DIY Car
In this setup, a micro:bit is used to remote control a micro:bit-controlled car to manoeuvre around obstacles.
What's the Average Speed?
In this setup, 2 micro:bits are used with 2 torchlights and an LED display to simulate a real-life speed display used on roads.
Paper Piano
In this setup, a micro:bit, a speaker and some crocodile cables are used to make a paper piano come alive.
E-Locker
Build a safe, complete with passcode and automatic locks using a micro:bit device.
Rock–Paper–Scissors
In this setup, 2 micro:bits are used to play the famous Rock–Paper–Scissors (Scissors-Paper-Stone) game.
Rocket Ship Space Collector
On the Scratch platform, create a game to move the rocket ship controllable by the keyboard or micro:bit. The rocket ship will collect the falling gems while avoiding the asteroids. Launch fireball to destroy the asteroids. Introduce life and level variables.
Remote Control Flight Mission
Use a micro:bit as a remote control to fly a drone.
