Description
The micro:bit Smart Home Kit turns coding into something students can see working. They wire up a sensor, write a few blocks of code, and a light comes on or a window opens. It is one of the clearest ways to show upper primary and lower secondary students what a program actually does in the physical world.
What's included:
- sensor:bit expansion board with GVS terminals and an I2C port
- OLED screen, rainbow LED, relay, DC motor and 180° servo
- Temperature, sound, light, crash and soil moisture sensors
- Submersible pump, screwdriver, USB cable, AAA battery box and printed manual
- micro:bit board and batteries are not included — add a micro:bit V2 at checkout
What students practise:
- Reading a sensor value and using it to trigger an output
- Block coding in Microsoft MakeCode, with a path into Python later
- Connecting circuits safely and debugging when something doesn't respond
- Talking about automation in terms they can point at, not abstractions
Sammat's Online Academy carries eleven self-paced lessons for this kit — build steps, code and video walkthroughs, written for Australian classrooms. Academy access is sold as an add-on to the kit, and is included in the Smart Home Kit Classroom Pack.
