Brand: micro:bit
Give every learner a wearable micro:bit — ready for class in seconds
Complete your purchase:

The micro:bit wearable turns any coding lesson into a physical computing experience. Learners program a step counter, strap it on, and test it by walking around the room. They fix their code, run it again, and understand — not because they were told, but because they felt it. That kind of learning sticks. The official TPE holder keeps the board and battery pack secure during movement, so lessons stay focused rather than troubleshooting fallen boards.
Designed for group use from the ground up — not a consumer product repurposed for schools.
Equip a full group simultaneously. Every learner gets identical equipment, making group activities and comparisons straightforward.
Manufactured by the Micro:bit Educational Foundation — the same organisation behind the board itself. Maximum compatibility guaranteed.
Works with every micro:bit project, from beginner step counters to advanced CreateAI gesture recognition and IoT activities.
Assembly instructions are printed on the box. No tools, no soldering, no pre-class preparation beyond pairing with micro:bits.
TPE rubber holder and hook-and-loop strap withstand repeated classroom use. Suitable for years of lessons across multiple terms.
Works with both the original micro:bit and the newer V2 and V2.2 boards. No hardware upgrade needed to use these in your classroom.

Wearable micro:bit activities connect naturally to science, health, and technology learning areas. Learners build fitness trackers tied to health goals, walking-for-water step counters linked to global citizenship, and gesture controllers that demonstrate Newton's laws. Research published in the Journal of Science Education and Technology confirms that wearable STEM projects are particularly effective at improving attitudes toward computing — especially among female learners — because they blend personal relevance with technical challenge.
Learners wearing what they code — from fitness trackers to gesture controllers.
