Thames & Kosmos Robotics Workshop MicroBit

An intuitive, state-of-the-art building and robotics kit for serious engineers and makers! Packed with hundreds of durable, reusable components, and designed for both home and school use, this comprehensive and engaging curriculum gives young learners the tools to explore the field of robotic engineering like never before.

The kit begins with instructions to build 14 simple motorised robots with sensors that can control the robots. With over one hundred snap-together, versatile building pieces, kids can also construct new robots of their own design!

Once you’ve built your robots, you’ll add code to program them and bring them to life. Robotics Workshop utilises the award-winning micro:bit, a tiny computer that kids can program using the free web or app-based platform MakeCode. Through MakeCode, kids can begin their coding journey with easy-to-understand visual block-based coding, and then stretch themselves to learn the most relevant coding languages of the tech industry: Python and JavaScript.

A 32-page full-colour manual and tons of online resources feature step-by-step illustrated building instructions and explanations for how to program and operate the robot models.
