Whether in school or at home: The new education kit "The Journey with the micro:bit in Makecode V2" takes young explorers aged eight and up on an electrifying expedition into the world of microcontrollers. How does a micro:bit work? How do I program it? And what can I do with this mini-computer? Everything needed to find exciting answers to these questions is included in the new learning travel case "The Journey with the micro:bit V2."

Electronic Adventure is an innovative collaborative project by electronics specialists Joy-IT and Elektor, who combine their expertise to develop interesting and practical educational products with real pedagogical value and high quality. The result is creative content that is unique in this form: The travel case offers researchers and the accompanying teachers or parents a series of exercises that build on each other and shows step by step how easy it is to carry out exciting microcontroller experiments.

The youth-friendly instruction book, designed with attention to detail for young explorers, has 80 pages and is prepared didactically with great images and plenty of space for notes. Accompanying explanatory videos enhance the learning journey and make programming with the micro:bit V2 based on "Makecode" literally child's play.

On a dedicated website, young users and their learning companions can find even more exciting moments with the micro:bit V2, as well as a forum that helps with questions and problems. Thus, this kit is not only suitable for one-time use but can be programmed again and again. The accompanying guide for teachers or parents also provides further background information and additional suggestions for project implementation.
