BBC micro:bit V2 Next Gen Class Pack
The micro:bit is a compact, user-friendly device designed to help students explore digital skills, creative computing, and coding in a fun and practical way. With the latest Next Gen classroom pack, educators can introduce hands-on technology projects both in and out of the classroom.
This updated classroom bundle includes the same hardware provided to UK schools through a collaborative initiative led by BBC Education, the Micro:bit Educational Foundation, and Nominet. It’s perfect for teachers looking to integrate micro:bit into their STEM curriculum.
Designed for simplicity, the micro:bit is approachable for beginners yet powerful enough to engage advanced learners. Measuring just 4 x 5 cm, the board is packed with over 140 electronic components. Using free online code editors, students can create interactive programs that respond to movement, sound, light, and more. An edge connector allows expansion with accessories, sensors, and custom circuits, offering limitless possibilities.
This kit also features new wearable accessories — including flexible holders and wrist straps — allowing students to bring their micro:bit outdoors or incorporate it into movement-based projects.
For educators getting started, a wide range of tutorials, projects, teaching guides, and training materials are available for free at ww.microbit.org.
