You can use the Scoll:bit in your classroom to introduce students to coding and interactive design in an engaging and hands-on way. This compact device features a vibrant LED matrix that allows students to create animations, display messages, and visualize data as they program it using block-based coding platforms or JavaScript. As students experiment with different programming concepts, such as loops, conditionals, and functions, they learn essential skills in coding and problem-solving while fostering creativity through visual expression. The Scroll:bit encourages collaboration, as students can work in pairs or small groups to design their own interactive projects, share ideas, and solve challenges together, enhancing their communication and teamwork skills. This versatile tool not only makes learning about technology accessible and enjoyable but also inspires critical thinking and innovation, empowering students to explore the real-world applications of coding and digital design.
Just slot in your micro:bit, then code scroll:bit with the block-based Microsoft MakeCode editor, or with MicroPython in the Mu code editor. It works in a very similar way to the built-in red LED matrix on your micro:bit.
Compatible with micro:bit and micro:bit v2
** Needs 2-AAA batteries to operate
