The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit provides a fantastic way of learning how to construct electronic circuits and create code. The BBC micro:bit has a selection of pins that are located on the bottom edge of its PCB. By using Kitronik's specially designed 'edge' connector board in conjunction with the breadboard, it is easy to use these pins to connect additional components. No soldering is required and the first circuit can be built in minutes! Huzzah!

The possibilities are endless and to get users off to a flying start the kit includes an easy to follow tutorial book which covers 10 projects (even more are available online!).
