ElecFreaks micro:bit Starter Kit

Use this ElecFreaks micro:bit Starter Kit with your micro:bit to explore the electronic world and build a good foundation in coding and circuits! To dive into more than 10 exciting activities with this micro:bit Starter Kit, you'll first need the micro:bit Bundle.

This Starter Kit includes basic electronic components like LEDs, a button, a buzzer, a temperature sensor, a servo, a motor, a fan and more. It's the perfect combination of fun and creativity as you gain some programming knowledge and learn new coding skills!

To begin your exploration of basic programming, connect your micro:bit to the included breadboard adapter and breadboard. The included instructions show you how to code the device using block coding, like MakeCode or Scratch. This ElecFreaks micro:bit Starter Kit is perfect for beginners, but more advanced coders can replicate the same programs using a more complex language if desired (ex. JavaScript, Python, etc.). This kit requires two AAA batteries, which are included in our micro:bit Bundle. If you did not get the HST micro:bit bundle, you'll need to supply your own batteries. Expand the 'Contents' tab below for a complete components and parts list!
