Gave to my son along with a basic micro bit for his 10th birthday. He’s been independently working through the projects. Great book!

    • Amazing resource!
Great resource. I was a beginner with micro:bit and I really learned a lot. The projects are fun and creative, and more than just crafts with a micro:bit attached. I loved it and can not recommend it highly enough!
