The BBC micro:bit is the spiritual successor of the BBC Micro of the 1980s, which itself introduced a generation of children to computing. Students can use these micro bit kits to create or complete more experiments, such as traffic lights, using photocell to control micro:bit screen or LED. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. These features make it a great introduction to the world of programmable components and the wider internet of things. The battery pack and batteries enable you to power your BBC micro:bit once you disconnect it from the USB.From science to design, we've curated course materials that can be brought right into the classroom. A pack consists of 1 x BBC micro:bit V2, 1 x 1M anti tangle USB Cables, 1 x Battery Cages and 2x AAA Batteries. Alternatively you can choose the free collection option and have your own courier collect it from us. Your BBC micro:bit has a temperature sensor inside the processor which can give you an approximation of the air temperature around it.

That's also why we've partnered with award-winning teachers to design complete lesson plans that can be brought right into the classroom. Take the official BBC starter kit for example - it includes the fantastic micro:bit itself, a micro USB cable and a 2xAAA battery holder. The micro:bit Go box contains the micro:bit computer as well as a USB cable to connect to a PC and a AAA battery holder with AAA batteries so you can start creating straight away.

Note: This product has been updated and replaced by one featuring the new micro:bit V2, available here. The BBC micro:bit is a physical computing device that provides a bridge between abstract concepts and tangible experiences. A motor is a kind of device that can transfer electric energy into kinetic energy according to the law of electromagnetic induction. The BBC microbit's built-in sensors, programmability, and connectivity options (direct, Bluetooth, and wireless) make it ideal for your robotics projects.
