BitGadget Kit is a must-have for micro:bit intermediate learners. The included micro:bit expansion board, BitMaker incorporates six Grove connectors, one RGB LED strip and one buzzer to make it possible for some beginners to still use the micro:bit without purchasing extra modules.

The Bitmaker has recently been updated to V2, including improvements to the layout of hardware and customer experience. It is fully compatible with Bitmaker V1.

You can let your imagination take flight by creating projects with endless combinations of these components. Scroll down to see project examples. If you are already an experienced micro:bit user, you can experiment with adding other Grove modules such as a gesture sensor or 4 digit display to enhance your projects. If you haven't heard of Grove before, Grove is a Seeed Studio series which you can read more about here.

Educational Focus

With the BitGadget Kit, students will develop open source electronics understanding as well as programming skills. Students must exercise creative thinking and use their hands as they design their own projects, customising functions through graphical programming. Not only can kids build knowledge of the modules and graphical programming, but they can also learn how to create their own DIY projects.

This product is suitable for:

Maker teachers / DIY hobbyists / high school students / micro:bit intermediate learners / Homeschoolers
