Convert Mai-Z The MouseBot for BBC micro:bit into fully screen-free coding with this clever all-in-one expansion pack!
Just press the ‘Record’ button on the delightfully cheese-themed Screen-Free Programming Board, let Mai-Z roll over the Instruction Blocks, then hit ‘Play’, and she’ll carry out the sequence exactly as she read it. It’s a hands-on, engaging way to explore programming without a screen in sight!
The Instruction Blocks are thoughtfully coloured into groups to mimic the block categories found on coding platforms, such as MakeCode or Scratch. Joining together in a puzzle-piece design, these Instruction Blocks are easy for the smallest hands to use.
