Everything needed to start, in one box: the Ring:bit Bricks Pack, a micro:bit V2 board, and six self-paced lessons in the Sammat Online Academy. Children design the thing before they code it, then write the program that brings it to life. What's included: 1 x Ring:bit Bricks Pack — Ring:bit v2 board, two 360° servos, a rainbow LED strip and close to 200 building bricks 1 x micro:bit GO pack (V2) — board, battery pack with 2 x AAA batteries and a USB cable 6 self-paced lessons in the Sammat Online Academy, with written guides and video walkthroughs The six lessons: Traffic lights — a working signal sequence Bricks car — build and drive it Temperature-controlled fan Smart desk lamp that turns on when it gets dark Windscreen wipers Trebuchet — a working catapult You will need a computer, phone or tablet with internet access to load the Microsoft MakeCode editor. Because the bricks are a standard size, a child can keep building well past the sixth lesson with whatever is already in the toy box.

The Ring:bit Bricks Pack pairs a micro:bit with roughly 200 building bricks, so students design the thing before they code it. Six guided projects take a class from a set of traffic lights through a brick car, a temperature-controlled fan, a desk lamp, windscreen wipers and a working trebuchet. What's included: Ring:bit v2 expansion board for the micro:bit Two 360° continuous rotation servos Rainbow LED strip Close to 200 building bricks, compatible with the common brick standard Printed assembly instructions, with six guided lessons in the Sammat Online Academy micro:bit board and 3 x AAA batteries are not included — add a micro:bit V2 at checkout What students practise: Designing a mechanism, then writing the code that drives it Iterating — rebuilding when the first structure won't hold or won't move Controlling servos and LEDs from block code in MakeCode Working from an instruction set, then departing from it Six self-paced lessons for this kit sit in Sammat's Online Academy — traffic lights, a bricks car, a temperature-controlled fan, a smart desk lamp, wipers and a trebuchet. Access is sold as an add-on to the kit, and is included in the classroom pack. Because the bricks are a standard size, a class can keep building well past the last lesson.
