Preorder - Available Spring 2024 Our Middle School micro:bit Course is designed to immerse students in the Engineering Design Process, structured around six lessons that adhere to the 5E lesson plan format. Within this framework, students tackle real-world problems by stepping into roles defined by narrative-driven design briefs, which encourages a practical approach to problem-solving. The curriculum employs the MakeCode platform, allowing for an interactive experience with both virtual and physical micro:bits, and places a strong emphasis on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) by integrating activities that promote collaboration, reflection, and critical thinking. Authentic assessments are central to the course, with reflection exercises, rubrics, and checklists providing educators with valuable tools to measure student learning and progress. This comprehensive approach ensures that students not only gain technical skills in coding but also develop a deep understanding of the design process, preparing them for the technological challenges of the future. Lessons include:
- Coding Superheroes
- Weather Broadcasters
- Escape Room
- Game Show
- Fashion Statement
- micro:bit Gamer

The Build Smart EV Micro-Kart FLASH curriculum puts your students in the driver’s seat as they build and code their own electric go-karts. The curriculum walks you through each step so you can enjoy the experience alongside your students. It teaches students about the Engineering Design Process through hands-on, project-based learning. Using the 5E lesson plan format (Engage, Explore, Explain, Engineer, Evaluate), students work through a series of activities that leads them to the creation of a fully functioning electric kart. The course implements standards from ISTE, NGSS, CCSS, STEL, and CSTA. The short course can be used for:
- Introductory units on environmental and mechanical engineering
- Out-of-school STEM-based activities (4H, Boys and Girls Club, etc.)
- Virtual instruction
- Hybrid instruction
- Library youth programming
- Professional development for educators
- STEM classrooms
$499.00 – $1,299.00

$130.00 – $149.00
The EV Micro-Kart Course is made for high school students to learn mechanical engineering, coding and circuits. Students experience the Engineering Design Process as they design and 3D-print their own kart chassis and toppers. (Students also have the option to construct their chassis out of thin cardboard if a 3D printer is not available). Students will outfit their karts with headlights, taillights, and a variable-speed motor, using a breadboard to create circuits and using a micro:bit to code and control the actions of these systems. Finally, students use the micro:bit to analyze the performance of their karts via data collection and visualization. Along the way, students consider the important factors involved in constructing an EV kart and preparing for a big race, exploring subjects like:
- 3D modeling
- Engineering tolerances
- Power transmission and consumption
- Braking and steering systems
- Pulley ratios
$80.00 – $129.00
The EV Micro-Kart FLASH is a perfect introduction to coding, circuits, and mechanical engineering for middle and high school students. Students experience the Engineering Design Process as they create a chassis out of cardboard (a 3D-printed option is also provided), add a motor and pulleys, and then code a micro:bit to give it headlights, taillights, and speed control. This FLASH course is ideal for:
- STEM classrooms
- Library programming
- Summer camps
- Coding clubs
- Virtual instruction
- Homeschools or Microschools
- Professional development to introduce teachers to coding
