I WANT TO BE
A PARTNER SCHOOL
We inspire all children to create their digital future.
The teaching of programming, code, robotics and maker culture are on the rise and, therefore, parents and students have increasingly sought solutions that meet this need. In view of increased demand, it is important that your school be prepared for this new demand.
Having been conceived for education, the micro:bit offers its students a modern, young, much simpler and more practical product for teaching programming and the best:
Complete, ready to use, without the need to purchase other equipment, making the learning process much more practical and effective.
Check out the benefits of having the BBC micro:bit in your school
Focused on children
Based on a small programmable board that inspires digital creativity, teaches the fundamentals of programming and enables endless ideas.
Developed for education
Makes the learning process easier.
International network
Micro:bit is being already used in more than 60 countries by more than 20 million students.
Programming for all levels
Dentre os nossos parceiros, a Microsoft é responsável pelo contínuo desenvolvimento do ambiente de programação MakeCode. Outro importante parceiro é o Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), responsável pelo ambiente de aprendizagem de programação mais reconhecido no mundo, o Scratch. A integração do Scratch com BBC micro:bit é nativa e a interação ocorre em tempo real. Já para explorar o alto desempenho do BBC micro:bit os alunos podem utilizar a linguagem Python, que permite projetos avançados e que já são utilizados em cursos técnicos e universidades, não se limitando a estudantes que estão iniciando na programação.
Micro:bit differentials
