SB Components came out with a concept where we decided to give the pleasure of both programming and playing with our new project STEM: BIT – Programmable block kit based on Micro: Bit for 8+ ages group on Kickstarter.
We wanted to design and develop something that can help any one (technical or non-technical) explore their vision of creating something cool while on the play! And this was made even better by introducing the popular micro-controller BBC micro:bit board. We present to you the Stem:Bit! An easy to assemble and play with blocks kit for micro:bit. Yes, you heard it right, a programmable blocks kit.
As the name suggests, it is compiled using 2 different yet the widely used terms, “Stem” from the STEM Education society and “Bit” from the micro:bit community. It basically focuses on indulging every kid and/or the techie to play and have fun along with learning to program. It gives a boost to learning programming with the micro:bit and playing along. In other simple words, with Stem:Bit kids can utilize micro:bit to fully realize their ideas and truly unlock their imagination while on the play.
Stem:Bit is easy to assemble and design codes about learning how to program the moves of different structures using the micro:bit. Using Stem:Bit you will learn programming, electronics, robotics and many more.
The easy assembling of the blocks to form many structures. and it is made even more easy with the help of an assembly manual that comes with the kit.
We have designed this project manual book (200-300 pages), especially for the children so that they can learn to make different applications using Stem:Bit giving them the scope to improvise and enhance their vision of programming and learning.
