Yes! The micro:bit acts as the brain of all the robotic projects created with the Climate Action Kit. At least one micro:bit is required per kit. Climate Action Kits can be purchased with or without micro:bits.
Please note, a version 2 micro:bit is required.
How many kits do I need for my classroom?
We generally recommend a ratio of 1:1 or 2:1 for kits to students.
Alternatively, if you have additional micro:bits, each student can code their own micro:bit and simply swap out the micro:bit on the Breakout Board's edge connector to each test their project code.
