Our board is designed to simplify the connection of additional components, such as motors, sensors and wires, making it easy for young learners. This straightforward approach opens up numerous design and programming possibilities for projects.
The Democratization of Robotics
Micro:bit, a BBC initiative, aims to advance digital skills, robotics, and coding education for children worldwide.
The BBC micro:bit is a compact 4x5 cm programmable device, crafted to make coding accessible, enjoyable, and tangible for everyone. It stands as an exceptional tool for nurturing the digital skills of future generations, particularly with primary school students
Micro:bit Worldwide
With over five million micro:bits distributed globally, imparting digital skills and nurturing computational thinking. An accessible tool for both your students and yourself, boosting confidence in teaching robotics. Be inspired and join the community dedicated to developing technological projects with students.
The code editor: Makecode
Microsoft MakeCode is a free and open-source online platform that provides an intuitive, straightforward, and step-by-step entry into the programming world.
To simplify this process, MakeCode offers:
- Simulator
An immediate program testing simulator, streamlining the trial-and-error process. - Graphic Block Programming
Learn programming through coloured blocks that can be easily dragged and dropped to create programs. - Once ready
Users can progress in programming by utilizing more advanced tools, applications, or editors such as Python or JavaScript.
Benefits of Micro:bit
Easy to use
It is a user-friendly and readily accessible board. No need to create any electronic circuit or use a breadboard; you can undertake both simple and complex projects effortlessly.
Open Source
It is an open-source board. Both the hardware and software are 'Open Source,' enhancing the educational impact of the project.
Medium
It has a great educational community. Lean on the Micro:bit educational community and discover new projects and activities with a single click.

We have a personalized attention service active from Monday to Friday during the school day via telephone and email. Specialized professionals will accompany the school and the teachers at all times.
The current context is being determined by increasing globalization, digitization and universal access to information. In this sense, digital knowledge and skills are key competencies that students must acquire in order to make appropriate and responsible use of new technologies, and a critical interpretation of the information that surrounds them.
Our technological kits, Internet connection, a device (an interactive whiteboard, desktop computer, laptop or Android or iOS tablet) and the necessary artistic material for each project.
No prior knowledge in robotics or programming is necessary to begin with ART2BIT in the classroom. The activity plan provides the training that teachers need as they progress through the project.
It is one of the key competencies for the personal development of 21st century students and is already part of the new educational curriculum (*).
Knowing what use we can give to technology in the classroom is not an easy task. Training your students to know where, how and when to use this technology and give it an educational and creative utility is part of the purpose of ART2BIT.
* The activities that we propose have been developed in line with global objectives to make it as easy as possible for your students to acquire new educational skills, placing special attention on basic skills in science and technology and digital citizenship.
