The Kitronik Inventors Kit Python version for the BBC micro:bit is an excellent kit to start programming and hardware interaction with the micro:bit. The kit provides all components needed to complete 10 experiments, supported by a step-by-step tutorial book that guides you through code and circuit creation, suitable for beginners.

The tutorial uses Microsoft MakeCode, with experiments 1-6 based on MakeCode Blocks and experiments 7-10 using Python.

The kit includes a specially designed Edge Connector Board to easily connect components to the BBC micro:bit pins and a small prototype breadboard for fast prototyping.

Features:

• No soldering required – build circuits quickly and safely.
• Includes parts and instructions for 10 experiments mixing Blocks and Python coding.
• Breaks out 21 pins of the BBC micro:bit using the included Edge Connector Board.
• Comes with a small prototype breadboard for building custom circuits.
• Available as a single pack or a 20-pack for classrooms.
• Designed and manufactured in the UK by Kitronik.
