Why Choose micro:bit for Your Classroom?

The world's most widely adopted physical computing platform — used in 60+ countries by over 20 million learners.

Built for Group Work

10 independent boards mean every learner codes simultaneously — no rotation, no waiting. Multiplayer radio activities and collaborative experiments are only possible when the whole group has boards at once.

Zero Barriers to Entry

No software installation. No STEM background required. Learners code from any web browser using MakeCode's intuitive drag-and-drop editor — your group can be up and running in under five minutes.

A Platform, Not Just a Product

The Micro:bit Educational Foundation provides continuously-updated free lesson plans, curriculum resources, assessment tools, and teacher training. The value of this kit grows over time — at no additional cost.

60+ Activities Across Every Learning Area

The micro:bit's free online project library spans computing, mathematics, science, music, and design. From first LED animations to data-logging science experiments and multiplayer wireless challenges, there is a structured activity for every ability level. The Micro:bit Educational Foundation's Make it: Code it series provides ready-to-teach lessons with defined learning objectives — no lesson planning from scratch required.

Classroom-Ready from Day One

Everything an educator needs to run a successful coding session — no specialist equipment, no prior experience required.

10 Simultaneous Learners

Every board is fully self-contained with cable and batteries. All 10 learners code at the same time — no rotation, no sharing.

Works from Any Browser

MakeCode and MicroPython run entirely online. No app installs, no software licences — just open a browser on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, or tablet.

Free Lesson Plans

microbit.org offers hundreds of free, structured lesson plans with clear learning objectives, activity sheets, and assessment guidance.

No Soldering Required

Crocodile clips connect accessories safely to the edge connector. No tools, no sharp components — completely safe for any school environment.

Reusable Term After Term

Robust hardware with no moving parts. One Club pack serves multiple cohorts across multiple years — low total cost of ownership per learner.

Built-in Wireless for Group Work

Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4 GHz radio are built into every board. Run class polls, multiplayer games, and collaborative experiments without extra hardware.

Research-Backed Learning Outcomes

Research from the Micro:bit Educational Foundation shows that 80% of learners taught with micro:bit agree computing is easier to understand than other subjects, versus just 52% of those who hadn't used it. After lessons with micro:bit, 80% of girls agreed coding is a useful skill to learn. And 84% of educators reported increased confidence in teaching computing after using micro:bit resources. These are measurable outcomes documented across thousands of classrooms worldwide.

Activities Your Learners Will Complete

Educator FAQs

The micro:bit covers coding, algorithms, physical computing, and data handling — skills that feature prominently in South African curricula across Technology, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics for Grades 4–12. The free lesson plans on microbit.org include structured activities with defined learning outcomes. However, we don't provide a formal CAPS mapping document for this product.

All 10 boards can be used simultaneously — every learner has their own board, cable, and batteries. This eliminates rotation and allows the entire group to progress together at the same pace.

No. The Micro:bit Educational Foundation provides free, structured lesson plans with step-by-step guidance for educators at all experience levels. MakeCode's drag-and-drop editor is intuitive for first-time coders — many educators find they learn alongside their learners.

Each learner needs a device with a modern web browser — a computer, tablet, or Chromebook. No additional tools, software installations, or specialist equipment are needed. The kit includes boards, cables, and batteries — everything else is provided.

The micro:bit V2 is purpose-built for educational environments. The boards have no moving parts, no fragile components, and a reinforced edge connector for repeated use. With proper storage, one Club pack will comfortably serve multiple cohorts over several years.

Very little. Learners can complete their first interactive project in a single 45-minute period. Lesson plans on microbit.org are ready to use, with defined objectives and activity sheets — no lesson planning from scratch required.

Yes. Contact CREATESPACE directly for school and institutional pricing on multiple Club packs. We work with schools and coding clubs across South Africa.
