Arcade for micro:bit
Make coding fun, creative, and hands-on with Kitronik Arcade! This handheld game console is designed for the BBC micro:bit and Microsoft MakeCode Arcade, allowing children and young creators to explore programming in an engaging and practical way. They can design and code their own games or play ready-made classics directly on the console.
In MakeCode Arcade, you start with simple visual code blocks that make it easy to get going. As skills grow, you can move on to JavaScript or Python for more challenge and deeper understanding. This makes Kitronik Arcade an ideal tool for both beginners and young developers who want to learn more about coding, game design, and logical thinking.
Programming helps strengthen creativity, problem-solving skills, and perseverance — and Kitronik Arcade makes learning playful, motivating, and accessible. A great choice for school projects, coding clubs, and home learning.
