Kitronik Lesson in a Box - Craft & Code for the BBC micro:bit

The Kitronik Craft & Code for BBC micro:bit is a fun and engaging way for students to learn about coding as part of wider craft-based projects. Using any version of the BBC micro:bit, this board allows beginners 8+ to design and control various craft projects using MakeCode for micro:bit. MakeCode is an intuitive, block-based coding environment. These projects are designed to be easy for a non-specialist teacher to deliver. Everything that is needed is contained within the box, except for the standard classroom craft materials each project requires and the components listed in the 'Requires' section below.

The Lesson in a Box (Craft & Code) is a complete set of electronics and teaching resources to enable successful cross-curricular lessons with minimal teacher effort. The kit and teaching resources have been tried and tested by real pupils and developed by real teachers to save you precious time.

In developing this box we wanted it to be affordable, useful and robust enough for teachers to use time and time again. The teaching resources cover many curriculum specifications and have ample opportunities for personal development by encouraging pupils to view traditional STEM/STEAM activities as having value across their curriculum.

All of the teaching resources are set out in a teacher, ‘user-friendly' way, including lesson plans, presentations, and printable worksheets. These are supplied in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint formats as well as PDFs, which can be copied, modified, and printed to suit your teaching style.
