Sparkfun micro:bit v2 Club Kit - Go Bundle 10-Pack

The micro:bit v2 Club Kit is an ideal solution for STEM clubs, coding camps, and classrooms, offering a comprehensive package that includes ten micro:bit v2 Go Bundles. This kit provides all the essentials for a group to start coding and creating projects immediately, making it a cost-effective choice for outfitting a class without the hassle of sourcing additional components.

The kit includes ten BBC micro:bit v2 boards, each a compact yet powerful computer designed to be the core of diverse projects. With ten micro-B USB cables, connecting these boards to computers for programming and power is straightforward. The inclusion of ten AAA battery holders and twenty AAA batteries ensures that projects can be taken on the go, providing flexibility and mobility to student creations. Each bundle also comes with a Quick Start Guide, offering unique project ideas to inspire students from the get-go.

The v2 board is a notable upgrade from its predecessor, maintaining an intuitive interface while introducing advanced components. This design evolution supports the development of more intricate and interactive projects, adapting to the growing skills of students. The board features interactive inputs like programmable buttons and a touch-sensitive logo, a built-in MEMS microphone and speaker for sound-based projects, a 5x5 LED array for visual displays, and integrated motion sensors such as an accelerometer and compass.

Equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0), the board allows seamless interaction with other devices and the Internet. Students can use micro:bit mobile apps to wirelessly send code to their boards, eliminating the need for USB cables and facilitating easier project sharing and collaboration in busy classroom settings.

The micro:bit v2 is powered by a 64 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller, featuring 512KB of Flash memory and 128KB of RAM, along with a built-in temperature sensor. The design includes 25 gold-tabbed pins and five ring connectors for power, ground, and I/O, simplifying connections. The notched large tabs make it easy to secure alligator clips for quick and frustration-free prototyping, making it a user-friendly choice for both beginners and advanced users.
