Build and code your own wearable bear badge with our scroll:bit micro:bit kit. Hang it around your neck and code it to be a name badge, fortune teller, or tilt-activated ghost.

Our Pimoroni bit:kits make it simple for anyone to get started with making and coding! They contain everything* you need to build them, learn how to use them, and code them. They include friendly instruction cards, a cable to connect and code the micro:bit, and a battery pack to keep your code running when you've disconnected from your computer.

*Just add a desktop or tablet computer to code your micro:bit
