Air:bit 1.0 Bulk Drone Kit for micro:bit

Air:bit is a STEAM learning kit that brings coding, engineering and flight together in a hands-on classroom project. Students build their own drone, learn how the parts work, and then program and control it using the familiar micro:bit ecosystem.

The kit combines the ease of use of micro:bit with the excitement of flying a drone. It can be controlled with code, an iPad or Android app, or with a controller built using another micro:bit.

Once students have explored engines, aerodynamics, batteries and more, they can extend the project by designing and fabricating their own frames using a 3D printer, laser cutter or other classroom tools. It suits science, arts and crafts, coding, programming, engineering, mathematics and related STEAM activities.

• 1 MakeKit Lithium (LiPo) battery
• 1 MakeKit Air:bit board
