About the BBC micro:bit Club

The BBC micro:bit Club contains 10 x BBC micro:bit V2 boards and all the essentials needed to power the boards and start programming. A perfect choice to get started with the micro:bit in a classroom or club setting.

The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customize, and control to bring your digital ideas, games, and apps to life! Programmed with MakeCode, the BBC micro:bit for coding is a great introduction to experimental code making. It acts as the brain behind the InkSmith k8 Robot , Inksmith Climate Action Kits and the Forward Education Climate Action Kits

The BBC micro:bit Club 10-pack contains everything you need to get coding straight out of the box, making it the ideal starter kit.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What's the difference between V1 and V2 micro:bits?

The V2 micro:bit has a built-in microphone and speaker to allow sound-sensing and sound-making without the need to attach another device. It also introduces capacitive touch sensing, a power-saving mode and more computing power for the classroom.

How can I power the micro:bit?

The micro:bit can be powered using a USB cable connected to a computer or portable power source. Alternatively, you can use a 2x AAA battery pack for wireless, portable use.

NEW!: Check out the CHARGE for micro:bit - a rechargeable powerpack and wrist strap for micro:bit.

Is the V2 micro:bit compatible with the original micro:bit accessories and shield?

V2 maintains compatibility with most existing micro:bit accessories, shields, and kits, including those used with the original model. However, some features, like audio capabilities, may require accessories designed specifically for the V2.

However, please be aware that some micro:bit accessories, like the Climate Action Kit, require a V2 micro:bit to work because of new advanced features.

What programming languages can be used with the micro:bit?

You can program the micro:bit using languages such as MakeCode (a block-based editor), Python, and JavaScript. The MakeCode editor offers an easy entry point for beginners, while Python allows for more advanced coding projects as users gain experience.

What age range is the micro:bit suitable for?

The micro:bit is designed for children aged 8 and up, but it can be used by anyone interested in learning about coding, electronics, and digital creativity. Educators, hobbyists, and makers of all ages can use the microto create interactive projects, games, and more.
