Thames & Kosmos Robotics Workshop with Micro:Bit

Description

Step into the world of programmable robotics with the Thames & Kosmos Robotics Workshop with Micro:Bit — a comprehensive STEM kit that combines building, sensors, and coding to give kids a real engineering experience!

Makers can construct 14 different motorized robots, each equipped with components like an ultrasonic sensor, servo motor, and direct-drive motors, all controlled by the Micro:Bit – your robots’ brain and sensors all in one! The pocket-sized micro:bit features 25 LEDs, built-in sensors, and can be programmed via USB or Bluetooth.

Through the intuitive MakeCode platform, kids can start with block‑based coding and then progress into Python or JavaScript, learning core programming skills in a hands-on way. The included 32-page full-color manual guides learners step-by-step through building and programming, helping them understand both mechanical design and software logic.

With hundreds of reusable plastic building pieces, students can recreate the 14 provided designs or invent their own unique robots.

Playing with STEM Toys can help with…

• Building confidence through hands-on learning
