Makekit

With the MakeKit Air:bit 2, students build, code and fly their very own micro:bit drone — turning a coding lesson into a real quadcopter they can put in the air. It's the original micro:bit drone, and a hands-on way to connect the code on screen to real motors, sensors and flight. What's included and how it works: A programmable micro:bit drone (quadcopter) construction kit — assemble the frame, wire the electronics, then code it to fly WonderKit flight-control board with laser-cut, repairable birch parts, designed and made in Norway Code in Microsoft MakeCode, JavaScript or Python, from beginner blocks to advanced flight algorithms Charges in under an hour and stands up to plenty of crash landings Suitable from around age 11 (upper primary and secondary) Please note: BBC micro:bits are not included. Two are recommended per drone — one inside the drone (micro:bit V2) and one as a controller — or fly it using the free iPad or Android app What your students practise: Coding and computational thinking across three real programming languages Electronics, motors and the aerodynamics of how a quadcopter flies Battery technology, problem-solving and design Fully repairable and made from sustainable materials, Air:bit 2 is built for the knocks of a busy classroom — and the same control board can later be rebuilt into a hovercraft or robot car.

Bring build-and-fly STEM to a whole class with the MakeKit Air:bit 2 Classroom Kit — six complete micro:bit drone kits so students can build, code and fly in pairs or small groups. It's the original micro:bit drone, scaled for the classroom. What's included: Six complete Air:bit 2 micro:bit drone construction kits Repairable, laser-cut birch parts designed and made in Norway Code in Microsoft MakeCode, JavaScript or Python — one platform for mixed abilities Each drone charges in under an hour and withstands crash landings Suitable from around age 11 (upper primary and secondary) Please note: BBC micro:bits are not included. Two per drone are recommended (one in the drone as micro:bit V2, one as a controller), or fly with the free iPad or Android app What students practise: Coding and computational thinking in three real languages Electronics, motors and the aerodynamics of flight Teamwork, problem-solving and design Fully repairable and made from sustainable materials, this classroom set is built to be built, flown and fixed year after year — and each control board can be rebuilt into a hovercraft or robot car for even more projects.

The MakeKit Hover:bit turns a micro:bit into a drifting hovercraft that students build, code and control themselves. Powerful drone motors lift it on a cushion of air, gliding across the floor at up to 30 km/h — coding you can watch, chase and redesign. What's included and how it works: A micro:bit hovercraft construction kit with a birch plywood frame and a cardboard base and rudder you can redesign Rechargeable 3.7V lithium battery with built-in USB charging; drone motors create the air cushion and a servo steers Code in MakeCode blocks, JavaScript or Python, or load a ready-made program Version 2 uses a built-in gyro for traction control and smoother drifting Suitable from around age 11 Please note: a BBC micro:bit is not included. Use one micro:bit with the free iPad or Android app, or add a second as a handheld controller What your students practise: Coding and control across three real programming languages Electronics, motors and how a hovercraft floats and steers Redesigning and rebuilding with cardboard — creativity and engineering Rechargeable, repairable and made from sustainable materials in Norway, Hover:bit is designed to be crashed, fixed and redesigned again and again.

Get a whole class drifting with the MakeKit Hover:bit Classroom Kit — six complete micro:bit hovercraft kits students build, code and control themselves. Powerful drone motors glide each craft on a cushion of air at up to 30 km/h. What's included: Six complete Hover:bit micro:bit hovercraft construction kits Birch plywood frames with cardboard bases and rudders students can redesign Rechargeable lithium batteries with built-in USB charging Code in MakeCode blocks, JavaScript or Python, or load a ready-made program Suitable from around age 11 Please note: BBC micro:bits are not included. Use one micro:bit per craft with the free app, or add a second as a controller What students practise: Coding and control in three real languages Electronics, motors and how a hovercraft floats and steers Design and teamwork — redesign each craft from cardboard Rechargeable, repairable and made from sustainable materials, this classroom set is built to be crashed, fixed and redesigned all year long.

The MakeKit Bubble:bit is a build-and-code micro:bit construction kit that flashes an LED, waves and blows streams of soap bubbles. It's a playful, affordable first step into electronics and coding for curious young makers. What's included: MakeKit control board, lithium battery, and a laser-cut plywood Bubble:bit frame with small parts Servo with horn, propeller, LED, rubber rings, plus the nuts and bolts to build it Code in MakeCode blocks, JavaScript or Python Suitable from around age 11 Please note: one BBC micro:bit is required (not included) and can be reused across other builds What your child practises: Coding and sequencing — make it light up, wave and blow bubbles on cue Electronics, motors and how a servo works Building, problem-solving and creativity Sustainable, easy to reuse and repair, and designed and made in Norway — a fun, low-cost way into hands-on STEM at home or in the classroom.

The MakeKit Wheel:bit is a three-wheeled micro:bit robot car students build from scratch and code themselves. Clip a pen to the front and it becomes a drawing machine — turning geometry and angles into art the class can see. What's included and how it works: A build-your-own micro:bit robot car with laser-cut, sustainable parts, designed and made in Norway An open, customisable design — rebuild the body with cardboard, 3D printing or a laser cutter Code in MakeCode blocks, JavaScript or Python, or load a ready-made program Suitable from around age 11 Please note: a BBC micro:bit is required (not included) and can be reused across other builds What your students practise: Coding and computational thinking Maths — geometry, distance and angles through the drawing robot Physics and design — motors, acceleration and building a car that works Unlike closed, pre-built robot cars, Wheel:bit is made to be changed and rebuilt — repairable, sustainable and truly the student's own.
