From the creative engineers at KittenBot, this plug-in add on for the micro:bit expands your 'bit to add a bunch more hardware to play with. It's a great expansion shield that breaks out all the IO pins (inputs, outputs), and also adds some extras to make your next bit project shine.

Features:

All pins are brought out to 0.1" headers that are color coded black for ground, red for power, and yellow for signal. You can breadboard easily by matching up with these premium header jumpers
On-board buzzer: you can use the music module in MakeCode to play music, and now you'll get audible beeps! If you want to use headphones, a 3.5mm audio connector on the board is available as well.
Two LEGO-compatible pin holes for easy assembly and integration.
5 x alligator clip gold pads, the same as the ones on the micro:bit
USB connector with on/off push button switch so you can turn projects on and off - the micro:bit doesn't have a switch which means unplugging instead, this is easier!
Includes 1A self-recovery fuse to help keep your projects protected

Please Note: this is only the shield - micro:bit is not included
