Crazy Circuits Bit Board Classroom Set for micro:bit

Overview

Teaching Micro:Bit Programming has never been easier thanks to the Bit Board Classroom Set. The Bit Board Classroom line was designed as a complete classroom solution for teaching electronics. Not only do we give teachers a robust set of materials to use but we also provide the lesson plans, projects, activities, diagrams, and videos.

Take the guess work out of Micro:Bit lesson planing and creation. Our lesson plans focus on teaching students the basics of Micro:Bit programing while also having them modify more complicated code in order to learn HOW different parts interact. We take parts such as distance sensors and show how to manipulate servos, 7 segment displays, speakers, and LEDs to show readings. Our goal is to inspire and engage students, not just teach them how to write lines of code.

Bit Board Classroom Sets comes with anywhere from 4 to 25 student boxes filled with electronics parts and supplies. Teachers can easily hand out the boxes and use our free curriculum and resources to quickly and easily run lessons. Every Set comes with a Teacher Box which includes a full set of supplies as well as additional ribbon cables, tape, components, and informational cards. Each student box is a compete set of parts to be used by one group of students. (We recommend groups of no larger than three students, especially when working with a computer.)

Brown Dog Gadget's curriculum is always being updated and improved on. They've aligned their lessons to Common Core and NGSS standards for easy integration into any new or existing curriculum. In addition to lesson plans our curriculum also includes activity pages, assessments, diagrams, and videos for classroom use.

As with all Crazy Circuits Kits, our Classroom Sets require no soldering. Parts are connected in a brick based building environment via our special Maker Tape conductive tape. The only additional tools you'll need are scissors and a computer to manipulate code.
