Help me give my students a set of Geekpi microbits in order to help teach them about electronic circuits, coding, and wiring as well as the Keystudio 45 sensor starter kit to help with implementation.

My Project
The goals for my project are to integrate gaming design with electronic circuits and programming. The microbit boards can be programmed with Microsoft Makecode software. I use Makecode to teach game design and programming in my Engineering class. The microbits will enable the students to program their games onto a circuit board, which can then be played on the homemade arcade machine that the school's TSA students are building for a project. My students love coding and gaming, and these items will help give them a tangible result to the lessons learned in class.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
