Description

Microbit is designed by the BBC for programming education for programming learners, and jointly developed by Microsoft, Samsung, ARM, Lancaster University, and so on. This is a small board with several sensors that allow students to access programming and control hardware without barriers.

The BitMaker V.2 is an upgraded BitMaker expansion board designed for micro:bit where it has been equipped with JST 2.0 battery connector and an updated slot for better holding alligator clips. The usage is of it as straightforward as it can be easily sliding into the micro:bit. With built-in a programmable RGB LED, a power switch, a power indicator, on-board Grove modules connectors, and JST 2.0 battery connector, BitMaker V.2 ensures the micro:bit be able to apply various functional Grove series which provides beginners more options in regard to the micro:bit projects, or helps them extend their original demos like adding an external battery to apply additional wireless function.

Comparison

If you are looking for one kit bundled BitMaker and Grove, we highly recommend purchasing a  which includes a BitMaker and 9 different Grove modules! This will be a nice choice for micro:bit intermediate learners to carry out micro:bit experiments. 

Education Focus

With the BitMaker V.2, students can apply open-source electronics and grasp programming skills at the same time. Students can design and deploy their own projects through graphical programming individually, exercising creative thinking.

This kit is suitable for:

• Maker teachers
• DIY hobbyists
• highschool students
• micro:bit beginners
