Where Storytelling Meets Coding
Welcome to Micro:bit Adventures
A free project designed to introduce elementary school kids to the world of coding. Through a series of interactive adventure books, children get to read thrilling stories and then write simple code on the Micro:bit to solve challenges and complete missions. Our goal is to make coding accessible and fun for children (age 7-11), regardless of their background or experience. With Micro:bit Adventures, kids can develop problem-solving skills, enhance their creativity, and cultivate a passion for both reading and technology.
