The SparkFun Inventor's Kit (SIK) for micro:bit includes everything you need to get started with electronics and coding using the BBC micro:bit. With a breadboard, sensors, LEDs, a servo motor, and a full experiment guide, you can work through hands-on circuits that teach the fundamentals of reading sensors, driving motors, using Bluetooth, and more.

No soldering is required, making this kit suitable for beginners through to experienced makers. The included micro:bit breakout board with headers makes it easy to connect the micro:bit's pins to a standard breadboard for prototyping.
