My Project

Middle school students are naturally curious. The Microbit kits allow them to explore programming, both block and java script, to put that curiosity into action. Students can explore circuits making musical instruments, can collect data on sound level, temperature, and conductivity, and can even build and program models and robotics.

STEM education is critically important for our students to be prepared for a future that continues to grow more dependent on technology.

These Microbit kits will help students do just this.

With the exception of Chromebooks, the technology that our students can access is very limited. These kids will put technology directly into their hands.
