Why Teachers Love Automate and Design Accessory Kit

Real Automation with micro:bit

Real Automation with micro:bit

Students connect a water pump, micro servo motor, and breakout board to a micro:bit, then use MakeCode to build systems that respond to light, temperature, tilt, button presses, and more.

Projects for Every Skill Level

Projects for Every Skill Level

Start with simple button-controlled or shake-activated projects, then progress to light- and temperature-triggered systems. Advanced students can combine the pump and servo to build a smart irrigation system.

Built for FarmBeats for Students

Built for FarmBeats for Students

Take FarmBeats for Students activities further with hands-on automation projects. Students can build a soil moisture notification system or automate a mini water pump using the kit's components.

Code with Free Microsoft MakeCode

Code with Free Microsoft MakeCode

Program everything in Microsoft MakeCode, a free browser-based coding environment. The Kitronik FarmBeats extension provides dedicated blocks for controlling the pump and servo, making physical computing accessible to beginners.

Standalone of Curriculum-Connected

Standalone of Curriculum-Connected

Use the kit on its own for physical computing, coding, and automation projects, or connect it directly to FarmBeats for Students curriculum activities. Compatible with micro:bit V1 and V2, with V2 recommended.

Build, Test, and Iterate

Build, Test, and Iterate

Students turn code into physical actions, then test how their systems respond to real-world inputs. Troubleshooting and refining each project builds practical skills in coding, electronics, automation, and engineering.
