Develop your coding skills with the Kitronik :MOVE Motor for micro:bit, a fun introduction to buggies and robotics. The Kitronik :MOVE Motor for the BBC micro:bit provides a fun introduction to buggy robotics. More than just a programmable buggy, learning to use all of the included features will give the budding roboteer a solid grounding in robotics as a whole.

Learn about movement, how to utilise light and sound, obstacle detection and avoidance, and how to code :MOVE Motor to follow a line. When used in conjunction with the micro:bit's radio features, the possibilities are endless.

Attached to the chassis are two bi-directional DC motors with variable speed control. The wheels have rubber tyres and are a simple push-fit onto the motor shafts. Slot a BBC micro:bit into the edge connector and you are ready to code. There is no other assembly required and no tools required.

There are built-in battery holders for 4x AA batteries. This provides a regulated voltage supply to power the BBC micro:bit which is fed into the edge connector. There is also a power switch to conserve batteries when the buggy is not in use. The micro:bit slots into the onboard edge connector. Code the micro:bit, plug it into the buggy, switch the power on, and then play.

Features:

The Kitronik :MOVE Motor for the BBC micro:bit provides a fun introduction to buggy robotics and coding.

It is backed up by a range of fun tutorials to introduce you to all of the great features.

All of the tutorials and resources are free.

There is no soldering required and assembly is quick and super simple.

The buggy features two bi-direction DC motors.

There are ultrasonic distance and line-following sensors onboard.

It also features a Piezo sounder and pen mount.

There are 4 full-colour programable ZIP LEDs.

Two-pin outputs that are ideal for servo connections (can be used for other inputs and outputs).

The battery holder is built onto the chassis.

The buggy is also fitted with a power switch to conserve the batteries.

There is also an onboard edge connector for the micro:bit, code, plug and play.

Kitronik has produced custom MakeCode blocks to simplify coding with the MakeCode editor

Kitronik have also created example MicroPython code in our GitHub repository. 

Contents:

1 x :MOVE Motor chassis.

1 x Booklet with some quick tutorials to get you started. There are also additional online tutorials and step-by-step guides for extra projects.

Kids are given an opportunity to imagine and design the city of the future they would like to live in. The city changes constantly as they get introduced to new technologies and learn to act as a team. The course introduces them to urban development concepts like governance and sustainability. They have to come up with solutions by creating a scaled down model with laser cutting, 3D printing and programmable microcontrollers. While building the city they are seeking answers for the challenges of the future they will soon experience. These boxes come with a lifetime license for each school or makerspace.

A research vessel sets off on an expedition around the world to understand global warming and how it affects climate. During the journey, the crew members wear many hats as they research, assess, design and build, discovering smart solutions and winning strategies for adapting to life in a changing climate. Their mission? To gain knowledge through exploring best practices in sustainability and passing it on to others – and laying the foundations of sustainable living.

Global warning is a science-based, data-based, non-biased course material that storyfies and gamifies climate change to make it accessible for students of all interests and abilities.

A team of exceptional space engineers is formed to get to Mars and terraform the planet. The story evokes the inner explorer in children making every session just another adventure. Completing the mission is only possible if they create their own sustainable and efficient designs by employing their newly acquired tech skills.

Makers Red Box is a great way for students to learn and explore using different methods of teaching and technical skills including Creative Writing, Mathematics, 3D Printing, Soldering, Laser Cutting, Robotics, Coding, as well as soft skills such as Creative Problem Solving, Teamwork, Critical Thinking, Emotional Intelligence, Communication Skills, and Business Skills. All help the student grow into thriving and ambitious individuals.

Participants create superheroes to express their feelings and experiences. By using storytelling methods, maker technologies and creative writing they express complex emotions in the form of objects. For this, children employ technologies such as 3D printing, laser cutting, electronics and microcontrollers or even sewing. After the participants created their very own heroes, they face interesting and fun challenges and delve into deep ethical and moral questions in their adventures.
