Home with the kids? Need something educational to keep those tiny hands busy?

micro:bit have your back with their free home learning.

Many of us are adjusting to supporting learning at home, as well as juggling our own work and caring commitments. Families are discovering that digital skills have never been more important, and will be even more so in the future. You don't even need a physical micro:bit for many projects, but if you do have one you can get very creative with household items like tin foil, cardboard, elastic bands and glue.
