BBC micro:bit - the next gen is a partnership between BBC Education, the Micro:bit Educational Foundation and Nominet. Made possible by Nominet’s support, the partnership is donating a set of 30 micro:bits to every primary school across the UK that signs up, along with tons of teaching resources to turbocharge digital learning.
The goal? To equip primary school students with the skills they need to navigate the digital world and shape their own digital future. Plus, they’re aiming to boost their knowledge of computational thinking, programming, digital creativity, and even machine learning.
As a manufacturing and global distribution partner for the BBC micro:bit, OKdo, part of RS Group, has a double duty – making the micro:bit classroom kits and getting them into the hands of eager students.
OKdo is playing a big part in this campaign, as one of the delivery partners, manufacturing half of the micro:bit boards and distributing them all over the UK.
The manufacturing of the micro:bit classroom kits will be carried out in our recently announced manufacturing CEM partner in Poland. The distribution will be carried out from the group’s Distribution Centre in Corby.
