    Q:
    Hi, I bought the kit, and just received it today. It is delivered in a good condition. I am truly excited with the kit. However, I can't find any information on MicroPython code for the experiments, either from the booklet or the webpage. Could you point me where I can have the MicroPython code for the experiments? Thank you.
    Asked by: Matthew
    A:
    HI Matthew,

    Thank you for your question, we do hold it on the website if you click on the link below at the bottom of the page is a table of the experiments. On there the code for the experiments in PXT and micropython are held for anyone who wants to down load them.

    Q:
    Q1: Do you ship to Scandinavia (Denmark) 
    Q2: it says requires assembly is that just putting in the micro bit or do you have to solder it all together
    Asked by: Arnar Fastvaldsson
    A:
    Hi Arnar, Firstly we can ship to Denmark via the website. Secondly although you technically don't have to solder to use the kit you would need to push the components into the breadboard for the experiment you are working on. As such you could use this product without any soldering skills.

    Q:
    Does the instructions for each project include programming instructions for each supported language? Thanks
    Asked by: Matt
    A:
    Hi Matt,

    Thank you for your question, I assume you are looking at the coding languages. Each experiment is written with a particular coding platform in mind normally the MakeCode or Python Editor later in the book but in the further help for each experiment we include a copy of code for MakeCode, Python Editor, Block Editor and tourch Developer and should have example from Edublocks going up in future.

    Best Regards

    Q:
    I'd like to use these with an extra-curricular group starting September and would probably need to order about 15 kits - would you anticipate being able to fulfil such an order?
    Asked by: James Dacey
    A:

    James,


    We are currently experiencing high demand for BBC micro:bit inventors kits mainly due to the imminent launch of the micro:bit outside of schools. We are however in the process of building lots of these so that we will then be able to have stock of them, we are also waiting on the BBC micro:bit to go with the kit. However both are likely to be in stock in a couple of weeks.


    At the moment we are trying our best to keep up with demand, but are finding that the micro:bit range keep going in and out of stock. There won’t be an issue with having stock for September but as we process out of stock orders in the sequence that they are placed it is worth placing the order early so you are at higher up the que.


    Best regards


    Michael
