## Description

#### Introduction

  Boson Starter Kit for micro:bit is currently in the status of pre-order and will be shipped in the end of October.
 micro:bit is a pocket-sized microcontroller designed for kids and beginners to learn coding and electronics, letting them easily bring ideas into DIY digital games, interactive projects and robotics. 
 *Micro:bit*
 To explore even more possibilities with micro:bit, we have now combined it with DFRobot’s Boson modules, a set of modularized electronic blocks, suitable for every kids to start their hands-on journeys of creation.
 
DFRobot’s Boson starter kit for micro:bit includes 8 well selected modules, covering most popular digital and analog sensors and actuators, supporting sound, light and motion interaction. Modules communicates to micro: bit via **3-Pin interface** and are perfectly compatible with Microsoft MakeCode JavaScript online Editor and Python Editor.
