The cheapest way into micro:bit electronics, and a sensible first purchase for a Year 3 or 4 class. Five plug-in components clip onto the basic:bit board, and every one of them works with MakeCode's default blocks — no extension packages to install, no wiring to get wrong. What's included: basic:bit breakout board with an onboard buzzer and three GVS groups (P0, P1, P2) LED module and crash sensor Potentiometer and ADKey five-button module 180° servo motor Battery box, USB cable and printed user guide micro:bit board is not included — add a micro:bit V2 at checkout What students practise: Connecting a component and seeing code control something physical Reading an input — a button press, a dial position, a bump Block coding in Microsoft MakeCode with no setup beyond opening the editor The habit of changing one thing and testing it Six documented projects on the ElecFreaks wiki, including a light controller, a Morse code sender and a function selector. Recommended by ElecFreaks for Years 3 to 4. Because it is our lowest-priced kit, it also works well as a class set where budget is tight.

This is the kit for students who should understand the circuit, not just the code. Twenty-four components and a breadboard adapter, with fourteen lessons that build up from lighting a single LED to driving a motor — each one explaining what the component does and why the circuit works. What's included: micro:bit breadboard adapter and breadboard LEDs, RGB LED and a rainbow LED module Button, self-locking switch, trimpot and photocell Temperature sensor, buzzer, 180° servo and DC motor Jumper leads, resistors and connecting hardware — 24 component types in total micro:bit board and batteries are not included — add a micro:bit V2 at checkout The fourteen lessons: LED, button, trimpot and photocell — the basics of input and output RGB LED, self-lock switch, temperature sensor and servo Buzzer, motor and rainbow LED Accelerometer, compass and ambient light, using the micro:bit's own sensors All fourteen lessons are documented on the ElecFreaks wiki. The kit supports MakeCode block coding, Python and JavaScript, and works with both micro:bit V1 and V2, so it stays useful as students progress.
