MakeKit AS Snow:bit Robot Kit Personal Learning Kit
The MakeKit Snow:bit is a propeller-driven sled robot kit designed to work with the BBC micro:bit. Built from laser-cut birch veneer, it features dual motors that push air backwards to propel the sled forward on skis — reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h. A hands-on STEAM project that combines woodworking, electronics, and coding.
The kit teaches students about propulsion, friction, and aerodynamics while learning to program the micro:bit. Experiment with different ski waxes and lubricants to see which gives the best glide, or modify the code to control speed and direction.
Key Features
- Propeller-Driven Sled – Dual motors with propellers for forward thrust
- Laser-Cut Birch Veneer – High-quality wooden construction
- Up to 40 km/h – Fast propeller-driven sled on snow or smooth surfaces
- micro:bit Powered – Programmable via MakeCode or MicroPython
- STEAM Learning – Combines woodcraft, electronics, and coding
Ideal For
- STEAM education and classroom projects
- Learning about propulsion and aerodynamics
- micro:bit robotics and coding
- Hands-on woodworking and electronics
