A Kickstarter success story and now available to buy, this beginner-friendly micro:bit kit is specially designed to encourage kids to explore STEAM and learn to code.
You can easily program the EDU:BIT using the open-source Microsoft MakeCode Editor. Just add the EDU:BIT MakeCode Extension and you’re good to go.
If you’re a beginner, you can start with the block programming mode; simply drag, drop and snap the coding blocks together. For more advanced users, you can easily switch into JavaScript or Python mode on MakeCode Editor for text-based programming.
New to coding? Don’t worry! This kit comes with a booklet covering 10 hands-on coding lessons and a bonus lesson, which have been creatively structured to introduce programming basics in a fun and engaging manner.
Each chapter features a classic childhood game such as Rock Paper Scissors, Snakes and Ladders, Twister and Simon Says. Follow the step-by-step guide to build the games and then have fun playing with your friends! *Game accessories are provided in this kit.
Apply your learnings
At the end of each chapter, there is a challenge which requires you to apply what you’ve learned to build a useful application for your classroom.
Give it a try and if you’re stuck, we’re always here to help you. You can go to to the Cytron Resource Hub for sample codes and extra resources.

The EDU:BIT has a dedicated controller and power supply. It can support up to 3 servo motors and 2 DC motors to actuate any creative projects you want to build.
Each feature and its associated micro:bit IO pin is clearly labelled on the board for easy reference. In addition, indicator LEDs are built-in on the EDU:BIT to ease troubleshooting for both digital and analogue IO pins.
Ready to build your own projects? You can break off the modules on the EDU:BIT board for more flexibility in your project design. Plug-and-play cables are provided for you to connect the broken off components to the main board.

EDU:BIT Learning & Project Kit for micro:bit
Great add-on kit for microbit that combines learning both coding and electronics. Really informative instruction booklet that guides us through each component with a lesson and then a challenge. Excellent starter kit to go with your microbit. Everything you need other than the microbit and a computer to connect usb to for power and data transfer and accessing the makecode website.
