micro:Maqueen Lite – Educational Robot Platform for micro:bit

The Maqueen Lite is a graphical programming robot for STEM education from DFRobot, designed for the BBC micro:bit (not included).

The compact body, multiple onboard features & sensors combined with the easy plug-and-play operation allow children (and us big kids!) to quickly learn graphical programming in an exciting and fun way, using familiar block-based programming using Microsoft MakeCode.

The kit includes almost everything you need – just add your own BBC micro:bit and 3x 1.5V alkaline AAA batteries. 

Note: The micro:bit and batteries are NOT included
