A BBC micro:bit with a Kitronik Inventors Kit for the BBC micro:bit, a 1M anti-tangle USB Cable, a Battery Cage and 2 x AAA Batteries. Your BBC micro:bit will come in one of 4 colour schemes, unfortunately, it is not possible to specify which colour.

The Kitronik Inventor’s Kit for the BBC micro:bit is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the BBC micro:bit. This Inventor’s Kit contains everything you need to complete 10 experiments.

To get you off to a flying start, we have included an easy-to-follow tutorial book which guides you through everything you will need to know about programming the BBC micro:bit. You don’t need any experience with programming as the tutorial book will guide you every step of the way. 

The BBC micro:bit has a selection of pins that are located on the bottom edge of its PCB. By using our specially designed Edge Connector Board for the BBC micro:bit in conjunction with the breadboard it is easy to use these pins to connect additional components to the BBC micro:bit.

Inventors Kit Add-On Packs:

The Kitronik Inventors Kit offers a great introduction to the world of physical computing. Its 12 experiments showcase how code and electronics can combine to create real-world everyday practical solutions to situations and problems. But why stop there?

The three add-on packs for the inventors kit have been specifically devised to introduce you to additional useful aspects of practical physical computing.

  • ZIP LEDs Add-On Pack for Kitronik Inventors Kit for micro:bit – Learn how to write code to take control of ZIP LEDs and to respond to input from components such as potentiometers and sensors.
  • Noise Pack for Kitronik Inventor’s Kit for the BBC micro:bit – Learn how to manipulate sound, build instruments, amplify your sounds, and how to shape your sounds with Filtering and EQ.
  • Digital Logic Pack for Kitronik Inventor’s Kit for the BBC micro:bit – Learn how logic gates work and how they can be used with the micro:bit.

        Answered by the admin Hi Matt,

        Thank you for your question, I assume you are looking at the coding languages. Each experiment is written with a particular coding platform in mind normally the MakeCode or Python Editor later in the book but in the further help for each experiment we include a copy of code for MakeCode, Python Editor, Block Editor and tourch Developer and should have example from Edublocks going up in future.

        Best Regards

        Asked by James Dacey on June 28, 2016 12:00 am
        Answered by the admin James,


        We are currently experiencing high demand for BBC micro:bit inventors kits mainly due to the imminent launch of the micro:bit outside of schools. We are however in the process of building lots of these so that we will then be able to have stock of them, we are also waiting on the BBC micro:bit to go with the kit. However both are likely to be in stock in a couple of weeks.
        At the moment we are trying our best to keep up with demand, but are finding that the micro:bit range keep going in and out of stock. There won’t be an issue with having stock for September but as we process out of stock orders in the sequence that they are placed it is worth placing the order early so you are at higher up the que.
        Best regards
        Michael
