My journey in creating, building and coding micro:bit projects...
Check out a younger Niel from 2023! 😊
What you will see...
Hands-on Coding
Creative Projects
Problem-Solving Skills
Code, Create, InnovateLight-sensitive Torch
This was one of my first projects. It was very easy, and anyone with basic knowledge can do it.
Autonomous Cleaning Robot
This project may look complex, but it was actually quite easy and took me only 1 or 2 days to complete. It can also avoid obstacles.
Vault
The technical aspects were not difficult, but building it took a long time because I used various mechanisms and had limited space.
RC Car Explanation
I repurposed an old, non-functioning RC car by adding a micro:bit and coding various functions for it.
RC Car Test-Drive
From high-risk safety simulations and maintenance procedures to soft skills like public speaking.
Crane
I built this crane using various gears and a motor. It was quite challenging but also a lot of fun.
Useful Resources
Home Learning Courses
Perfect for kids aged 8 and up, these activities encourage creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning for the whole family. Get started with coding through our super-easy, step-by-step guides!
Project Ideas
Discover quick, fun projects for all ages, searchable by topic, skill level, coding language, and Micro:bit features. Explore subjects like AI, math, music, and more.
Coding tutorials
Kitronik's coding tutorials offer free resources for all skill levels, from beginner guides to advanced maker projects. Explore MakeCode, Python, and Scratch, and build interactive projects.
Scratch
Scratch makes coding fun with interactive stories and games, while Micro:bit adds real-world action with lights, sensors, and movement. Together, they bring ideas to life!
