My Project

Students love to build and play video games. With the new KittenBot Newbit arcade shield, they will be able to create new ideas that they can hold and interact with.

Students love creating fun and interactive games.

However, with just the micro-bits, students are currently limited in what they can create and hold. By adding new expansion accessories, the students will be able to make more of their ideas come to life. These Arcade Shields would be an amazing addition to our program and allow for new interactions with technology and art that the students create.
