About this product
Overview
This micro:bit V2 starter kit has everything needed to start coding on day one: the official BBC micro:bit V2.2 board, a micro-USB cable to connect it to a computer, a battery holder so projects can run untethered, a quick-start guide and a frosted protective case.
The micro:bit is a small programmable computer created by the BBC to get children and young people into programming and electronics in a practical, enjoyable way. At just 4 × 5 cm it carries an Arm Cortex-M4 processor with 512 KB of flash, a 5 × 5 LED matrix, two buttons, a speaker and microphone, a touch-sensitive logo, an accelerometer, a magnetometer and a temperature sensor.
Free online editors cover every level, from MakeCode blocks to MicroPython, and there is an enormous library of free projects and lesson plans to draw on — which makes this kit a strong fit for classrooms, STEM clubs and home learning alike.

A pocket-sized computer built for learning: LEDs, buttons, sensors and radio on one board, programmable with blocks, Python or JavaScript.
Classroom coding
Teach computational thinking from the first lesson with MakeCode blocks, then move to MicroPython.
Robotics clubs
Drive motor boards and line-following robots; the built-in radio lets teams build remote controls.
Science experiments
Log temperature, light, acceleration and compass data straight from the on-board sensors.
Wearables & games
Step counters, reaction games and name badges — small projects that students take home.
