The Microbit is a great tool for any classroom, it really is the most versatile of robots. Having Microbits in the classroom, drastically reduces the “black box” magic that an off the shelf robot presents. When a student has to add servos, motors and other sensors to the CPU brain that is the Microbit, they know what they have built and therefore have a stronger foundation on which to problem solve, as by definition, the problem is one that they created.
As part of our 3D printed robotic arm, we have created this Microbit tutorial that demonstrates how to build functions that can be called by Microbits.
