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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nPropeller-Driven Sled – Dual motors with propellers for forward thrust\n\nLaser-Cut Birch Veneer – High-quality wooden construction\n\nUp to 40 km/h – Fast propeller-driven sled on snow or smooth surfaces\n\nmicro:bit Powered – Programmable via MakeCode or MicroPython\n\nSTEAM Learning – Combines woodcraft, electronics, and coding\n\n\n\nNote: A BBC micro:bit board is required but may not be included — check the kit contents for your variant.\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nSTEAM education and classroom projects\nLearning about propulsion and aerodynamics\nmicro:bit robotics and coding\nHands-on woodworking and electronics\n","vendor":"RS Components","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":132,"title":"Default Title","sku":"RS-272-7631","price":72.0,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
