Micro:bit Educational Foundation (+ schools, districts, community hubs)
Creative computing, physical computing, problem-solving, teamwork
Too many learners experience computing as theory on a board. We turned classes into living labs—where a tiny device (the micro:bit) becomes a traffic light, a flood alarm, a soil-moisture sensor, or a step counter. When learning is tangible, confidence soars and curiosity leads the way.
Intensive, practical workshops and coaching that demystify coding, electronics, and classroom facilitation.
Micro:bit kits + curated lesson pathways so teachers can start strong and sustain momentum.
A supportive network of teachers who share lessons, troubleshoot together, and celebrate learner projects.
School challenges, demo days, and community showcases to amplify learner voice and real-world problem-solving.
Teachers gain confidence to teach coding and physical computing through practical, hands-on workshops.
Structured lesson plans and assessment rubrics designed for seamless classroom integration.
Practical strategies for inclusive participation, teamwork, and peer collaboration in every classroom.
Access to webinars, forums, templates, and continuous guidance from a supportive educator network.
“After the micro:bit training, my Grade 7s built traffic-light prototypes to learn algorithms. Attendance shot up on club days!”
— Janet Nyaboke, Computing Teacher (Nairobi)
From block-based to text-based thinking—learn the foundations of programming in engaging, practical ways.
Ideate → prototype → test → iterate. A structured creative process for building meaningful tech solutions.
Projects tackle issues in safety, environment, and health—helping learners see their work change communities.
Learners build collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking through coding challenges.
“We made a flood alarm for our river. Now I want to be an engineer.”
— Brian, Age 12
Lead teachers become local champions, multiplying impact across schools.
Teachers upskilled in practical computing pedagogy
Learners reached with hands-on creative computing
Clubs seeded or supported (and counting)
Local challenges addressing real community needs
A rural club builds a water-level alert to help during rainy seasons.
A girls’ team designs a wearable step counter, then mentors younger learners.
Students collect classroom temperature and light data to reduce energy use.
“Guided by the Foundation’s vision—‘Inspiring every child to create their best digital future.’—we brought world-class tools and resources into African classrooms, turning curiosity into capability.”
Teacher onboarding + kits allocation
Classroom launch + coaching check-ins
Community challenge + showcase
Reflection + reporting + next-term plan
Igniting young minds through digital, green, and entrepreneurial learning.
