The Nezha Inventor's Kit is the deepest micro:bit kit we stock, and the one that keeps a class busy longest. Forty-eight documented projects — a mechanical shrimp, an automatic gate, a flower-watering prompt, a temperature-controlled fan — each built from bricks and driven by sensors the students wire themselves.
What's included:
- Nezha expansion board for the micro:bit, with colour-coded ports
- Planet X sensors: ultrasonic, crash, line-tracking, soil moisture and trimpot
- LED modules, a 360° servo and a motor
- Over 400 building bricks, compatible with the common brick standard
- RJ11 connecting leads and a storage case with dividers
- micro:bit board is not included — add a micro:bit V2 at checkout
What students practise:
- Building a machine to a plan, then modifying it when the plan doesn't survive contact
- Choosing the right sensor for a problem, out of a box with several options
- Block coding in MakeCode, with Python and JavaScript available as students progress
- Working independently — there are enough projects here for a term, not a lesson
Sammat's Online Academy carries 36 self-paced lessons for this kit, from traffic lights and automatic gates through to line-tracking and colour recognition cars — sold as an add-on, and included in the classroom pack. The RJ11 connectors are keyed so they can't be plugged in backwards, and the ports carry colour labels matching the sensors: small things that save a great deal of classroom time.
