It has been specifically designed for the classroom for KS2 computing and is backed by online MakeCode tutorials, simplified custom blocks, and a detailed getting started guide. Supplied in the box are; a battery holder (3 x AA),   a wheel and tyre for the motor, and the detailed easy-to-follow guide.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt  is absolutely packed with an impressive array of features and devices for easy delivery of fun and informative lessons. These include; a motor, ultrasonic distance sensor, 2 x large user-assignable tactile buttons (with indicator LEDs), a microphone, speaker (with volume control), 7 programmable ZIP LEDs(in an arc), A user-assignable potentiometer control, 2 x sets of traffic light LEDs, and LEDs arranged in a dice formation (that can also be used for displaying digits).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board also features; an edge connector for the micro:bit to slot into, a pre-fitted protective acrylic cover, clip-able pads for attaching an additional motor, 2 x clip-able pads for attaching further buttons\/switches, power indication LEDS, a cutaway for easy reset button access, and pre-fitted anti-slip rubber feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis all-in-one laboratory environment ships with a detailed getting started guide, filled with step-by-step information that can easily be followed by either teacher or pupil. The guide covers everything the user or teacher needs to know, from the ground up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoding is done via the MakeCode blocks editor. Kitronik has produced custom blocks for the editor to ensure that they are suitable for use with pupils aged 7-10. Each area of the board has its own blocks and they all slot together in intuitive ways. Detailed information on how to add these blocks to MakeCode can be found in the Getting start guide that ships with LAB:bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is provided via the provided 3 x AA battery holder  into the DC barrel jack input. The board has been rated for a maximum of 6V and a minimum of 3V, 3V - 4.5V is recommended. The onboard power regulation circuit provides power to the board and to the micro:bit,. LAB:bit has an inbuilt polarity protection circuit There is a colour-changing power LED to indicate when the battery voltage is getting low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNote:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo soldering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal mechanical assembly is required.
