This Kitronik University course is for anyone interested in E-Textiles and wearables. For those who don't know what electronic textiles are we cover all of the basics including elementary circuit design, and basic do's and don'ts when using conductive thread. If you're looking for something more advanced we have a range of tutorials for various of our Electro-Fashion components including our Igloo, PICAXE wearable module.

This Kitronik University resource is part of the BBC micro:bit partnership and will be an in depth tutorial into making a BBC micro:bit emoji bag with your free sample kit. We are currently working on this project, it will be available later on this summer. In the meantime enjoy this sneak preview!

Kitronik is one of many partners working with the BBC on the BBC micro:bit project. Collectively the project will give every year 7 student a BBC micro:bit, but just as important as the hardware it will offer project ideas, resources, tutorials to allow teachers to deliver exciting curriculum based activities using the BBC micro:bit. At Kitronik we will be focusing on using the BBC micro:bit within D&T.

The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customise and control – simply switch it on and programme it to light up, sync with other devices, and make your very own BBC micro:bit ideas, games and apps come to life.
