    Manufacturer: Kitronik
    The Simple Robotics Kit is a ready-to-use classroom solution that brings electronics, coding, and physics together in one compact teaching resource. Designed to make lesson planning effortless, this all-in-one set includes reusable hardware and a suite of editable teaching materials developed by educators and tested in real classrooms.

    With a focus on affordability, durability, and ease of use, this kit supports teachers in delivering engaging lessons across Design & Technology, Computing, and Physics. The learning resources are aligned with key curriculum areas, while also promoting creativity, experimentation, and broader personal development by showing students how STEM applies across multiple subjects.

    All included lesson materials are teacher-friendly and adaptable, with technicians’ notes, step-by-step lesson plans, worksheets, and editable files in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and PDF formats. A quick-start guide is also provided, helping educators get up and running quickly, with information on using the micro:bit, setting up the kit, and trying out coding examples.

    The included robots are powered by the BBC micro:bit and use the Klip Motor Driver Board—no soldering required. Assembly is simple using crocodile clips, and projects can be coded in a variety of programming languages, making the kit suitable for all ability levels.
