“Kids of all ages love to create using the LEGO building environment. Now we can foster STEM learning by combining the fun of LEGO with the simplicity of the Micro:Bit programming environment. Teach kids STEM fundamentals in an environment that’s safe and engaging. Build and program projects ranging from simple circuits to interactive robots. In a nutshell, the Bit Board allows users to combine LEGO with Micro:Bit for a simple electronics building environment without the need for wires or alligator clips. The Bit Board gives the user full access to all 20 of the Micro:Bits built-in I/O pins and also provides pin headers for connecting simple sensors, displays, and actuators. “

“We’re a group of educators who have been designing STEM education tools for the past ten years. We wanted to create a tool that both captures the imagination of kids but also increased accessibility to programming and robotics. With those ideas in mind, we created the Crazy Circuits Bit Board. The Bit Board connects Micro:Bit to the world of LEGO. Inspire kids of all ages to create through hands-on learning and exploration. The Bit Board enables Makers of all skill levels to create, learn, and have fun.We even added in a relay so you can control simple DC motors and other low-voltage devices. Users have the freedom to create as simple or as complicated of a project as they like, all with the same set of tools.”
