The inventors kit for Arduino follows in the footsteps of our hugely popular inventors kit for the BBC micro:bit. The Inventor's Kit for Arduino is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction for Arduino. This Kit contains everything you need to complete the 10 experiments. These additional resources have been produced to compliment the booklet that is supplied with the kit.

The Design And Technology Products Spring 2019 update is now out and should be landing in your school soon. We've also uploaded a digital version that you can access while you wait for your hard copy.

The cover of our Easter 2019 D&T Update features this nifty clip together acrylic case. This is a super easy project, showcasing design, materials, and a small amount of soldering.The design files for the project are available, so you can quickly cut one for yourself.

Anyone who’s used a laser cutter knows the satisfying moment where all of the parts fall out of the sheet. But the sheet itself sometimes leaves a fantastic pattern that seems a shame to throw away. Display a piece of your favourite projects and save waste material with this easy bonus project!

For this year's show, the micro:bit foundation wanted to have a pair of more visible micro:bits for their stand. Kitronik often works closely with the foundation, and so when we were asked if we could help with such a fun thing, of course, we said yes. The brief was to make a mega:bit, but even more MEGA sized.

Break free from the shackles of your workspace with our range of microbit Case & Accessories Options. If you need to cut the cord from your laptop and go mobile there are plenty of options currently available. This guide is to help you explore the possibilities and find a solution that is right for your project. 

Put some music in your hands with this pocket sized 3D printed mono amp case. This fun build keeps each step simple but offers loads of customisation options. We can’t wait to see what you can do with it!
