Build it, code it, and it blows soap bubbles. Bubble:bit is a plywood-framed machine driven by a micro:bit - a servo dips the wand, a propeller pushes air through it, and an LED lights the result.
A micro:bit is required and is not included - one board per kit. We stock micro:bit boards separately.
In the box
- MakeKit multi:bit control board
- Lithium polymer battery
- Bubble:bit plywood frame plus two small plywood parts
- Servo with horn, propeller, LED
- Two large and two small rubber rings, nuts and bolts
The payoff is immediate and visible, which makes it a good first project for students who need to see a result before they will commit to debugging one. The plywood parts come apart cleanly, so the kit can be rebuilt by the next class, and the multi:bit board carries over to other MakeKit projects such as Wheel:bit.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- servo
- A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
