How to use CHARGE
Add CHARGE to any of your existing micro:bit projects to power exploration, everywhere learning happens.
AI & Machine Learning
Create AI on your BBC micro:bit using movement and machine learning. Train a machine learning model on your own movement data and run it on your micro:bit.
Citizen Science
Use micro:bit for real-world experiments and hands-on STEM projects like environmental monitoring to biodiversity studies.
Activity Tracking
Count steps, go on a geocaching treasure hunt using the compass, or measure the distance between landmarks.
Portable Data Logging
Take micro:bit into the field to gather data in various environments— from the classroom to the school yard, in nature and beyond.
Physical and Outdoor Ed
Use the accelerometer to track the velocity of throws and kicks, count jumps and squats, or time obstacle course laps.
Environmental Responsibility
Create a sunlight scorecard to find the best place for solar panels or count the pieces of litter around the schoolyard.
