BitGadget Kit is a must-have for micro:bit intermediate learners.

The included micro:bit expansion board, BitMaker incorporates six Grove connectors, one RGB LED strip and one buzzer to make it possible for some beginners to still use the micro:bit without purchasing extra modules.

If you want to buy BitMaker separately on its own, click here.

The complete BitGadget Kit also includes 1 sliding potentiometer, 1 light sensor, 1 sound sensor, 1 button module, 1 ultrasonic distance sensor, 1 mini fan, 1 motor, 1 servo, 1 RGB LED strip (9 modules in total). You can let your imagination take flight by creating projects with the endless combinations of these components. Scroll down to see project examples.

If you are already an experienced micro:bit user, you can experiment with adding other Grove modules such as a gesture sensor or 4 digit display to enhance your projects. If you haven't heard of Grove before, Grove is a Seeed Studio series which you can get more here.

Educational Focus

With the BitGadget Kit, students will develop open source electronics understanding as well as programming skills. Students must exercise creative thinking and use their hands as they design their own projects, customising functions through graphical programming. Not only can kids build knowledge of the modules and graphical programming, but they can also learn how to create their own DIY projects.

This product is suitable for: 

Maker teachers / DIY hobbyists / high school students /  micro:bit intermediate learners / Homeschoolers

Project Examples:

Project 1 LED Controller

• The LEDs change its light display regularly as you rotate the rotary angle sensor, just like filling a glass. 

Project 2 Rainbow LED Strip
