The Engineer with micro:bit Kit & TeacherGeek is the ultimate hands-on learning system for students to explore electronics, coding, and engineering through design and innovation. Combining the versatility of the BBC micro:bit with Grove’s plug-and-play sensor modules and TeacherGeek’s robust building components, this all-in-one kit empowers students to build moving, sensing, and reacting projects. Whether you're programming a motion-sensing robot or crafting a wind turbine, the components in this kit integrate seamlessly—making it easier than ever for students to bring their ideas to life.
This extensive kit provides everything needed for open-ended STEM and STEAM projects, with sensors and outputs that respond to code, and mechanical parts that allow for physical prototyping. Students can build real-world devices like environmental sensors, interactive games, vehicles, or data loggers. The included Wio Terminal adds even more possibilities, enabling real-time display, IoT connections and machine learning applications. All parts are compatible, reusable, and designed for classroom longevity.
