The BitGadget Kit includes a BitMaker and 9 different Grove modules. This is the most suitable kit for micro:bit intermediate learners to dive deep into the world of micro:bit. An example of a project you could create is your own customized mood lighting with the RGB LED strip which automatically senses when it needs to come on through a light sensor or adjust it manually with a sliding potentiometer and push button in the kit.

## Description

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](https://www.seeedstudio.com/category/Grove-c-1003.html).

**Features**

 | **BitMaker**  BitMaker is a micro:bit expansion board for the micro:bit which also includes one RGB LED and one buzzer onboard to make it possible for some beginners to extend the micro:bit’s functionality. |
|---|
| **9 Classic Modules**  Besides a buzzer and an RGB LED carried by the BitMaker, the kit also includes 9 Grove modules that Makers often use in their projects. You can let your imagination take flight with those components. Scroll down for project ideas & examples. |
| **Microsoft MakeCode Compatible - A Powerful Programming Platform**  MakeCode is a widely-used graphical programming software which allows you to program the micro:bit. You can easily use it through a web browser. |
| **Educational Course Materials**  We provide free BitGadget Kit-related courses for schools and families. You can get started with BitGadget Kit no matter whether you are at class or home. |

**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

 | **Project 1 LED Controller**  The LEDs change its light display regularly as you rotate the rotary angle sensor, just like filling a glass. |
|---|
| **Project 2 Rainbow LED Strip**  When tilting the micro:bit left and right, you can see a rainbow-like RGB LED strip! |
| **Project 3 The Secret Box**  Keep your secrets in a fantastic box! If someone opens it, it'll alert you! |
| **Project 4 The Light-Sensing Fan**  This fan can sense the light. If the light is bright, the fan turns on; if the light is dim, the fan turns off. |
| **Project 5 Automatic Door**  This is an automatic door made with a servo and an ultrasonic distance sensor. If something approaches, it'll open automatically. |
