Strawbees Robotic Invention for the micro:bit V2 - 10 Pack (NO micro:bit)

Build and code robots that move! The Strawbees Robotic Inventions Project Pack integrates Strawbees construction with the micro:bit.

Effortlessly connect servo motors, explore the micro:bit's pixel light array, and craft robots or mechanical structures such as a crane. Using MakeCode’s beginner-friendly block-based coding, students can quickly program their projects and run them independently via battery power. In Strawbees Classroom (digital resources hub) you will find tons of activity inspiration!

Please note that the Robotic Inventions Project Pack is an add-on to the Strawbees straws and connectors sets. You must have Strawbees AND you must have your own micro:bit(s) to bring the project pack materials to life. 

• Grades: 3-9
• Number of Students: 10-20
• Number of Lessons/Activities: 3+
• Contact Hours: Unlimited

PLEASE NOTE: This kit DOES NOT Contain micro:bits, only the tools to connect micro:bits to your Strawbees creations.

Highlights:

You can build and code robots that move! This kit integrates with the micro:bit using the playful world of Strawbees building to add robotic capabilities. This kit includes 180 pieces.

• Robotics for micro:bit
• Snap-on electronics
• Add-on to micro:bit

Closer Look

A classroom set of 10 robotics boards to make it even easier to attach and program servo motors with the micro:bit! You can also control two RGB-pixel lights to create a full light spectrum for a show. This board comes with a removable Strawbees building clip to snap connectors and straws for making robots or mechanical structures like a crane.

Write in Microsoft MakeCode’s block-based programming platform, upload a program and remove from the computer to run on batteries.

This is an add-on kit and requires the purchase of another Strawbees product for building robots with building pipes and connectors.
