MakeCode & Python
Most coding kits teach coding. Most building kits teach building. This one does both at the same time — so your child learns how the two connect.
Each project starts with hands-on brick construction, then brings the creation to life with code. Your child learns that what they build and what they program are the same thing.
Traffic lights, a motorised car, a fan that responds to temperature — these aren't toy projects. They're the same principles that engineers use to build smart home devices and robots.
Start with block-based MakeCode. Graduate to Python. Add a Joystick:bit for remote control. The Ring:bit ecosystem expands as your child's confidence grows.
The 200+ LEGO-compatible bricks aren't just for the 6 guided projects — they're yours to keep building with. Once your child finishes the trebuchet, they can tear it down and build something completely their own. The same bricks, servos, and LED strip become raw materials for whatever they imagine next.
Six genuinely different projects. One kit. Everything your child needs to build and code physical machines.
LEGO-compatible bricks in multiple shapes and sizes — enough for all 6 projects and plenty left for free invention.
Continuous rotation servos power everything from a motorised car to windscreen wipers and a trebuchet launching arm.
A 10-LED NeoPixel strip with individually programmable colours. Used in the Traffic Lights and Smart Desk Lamp projects.
Begin with drag-and-drop MakeCode blocks — the same platform used in schools worldwide. Advanced learners can rewrite every project in Python.
All connections use colour-coded GVS plug-and-play ports. Safe and clean for children, with no special tools needed.
Every project has a full assembly guide and coding program on the ELECFREAKS wiki — always accessible, always free.
The Ring:bit V2 expansion board plugs directly onto the BBC micro:bit and converts its GPIO pins into simple 3-pin connectors. Your child doesn't need to know anything about wiring — they just plug in the servo or LED strip and start coding. It's the same principle that makes micro:bit the world's most popular learning board for physical computing.
6 guided projects — each a different real-world machine
Projects progress from beginner to intermediate, introducing new concepts with each build. A bonus Joystick remote-control activity takes things even further.
Programme a working traffic light that cycles red → yellow → green on a loop, each light staying on for the correct duration.
Learn: Loops, functions, LED control, timing
Build a two-wheeled motorised car you control with button presses and micro:bit gestures — tilt to reverse, shake to stop.
Learn: Motor control, gesture input, conditionals
Build an automated fan that switches on above 28°C and off below 26°C — your child's first smart home device.
Learn: Temperature sensor, if/else logic, automation
Create a lamp that reads ambient light and turns itself on when it gets dark — and off when it brightens up.
Learn: Light sensor, NeoPixel LEDs, environment-responsive code
Build a windscreen-wiper mechanism using a parallelogram linkage — the same mechanism used in real cars.
Learn: Mechanical linkages, servo control, event-driven code
Build a medieval siege weapon that launches on a button press, with two servos executing a timed sequence before resetting automatically.
Learn: Sequential servo control, physics, timing/delays
Plus a bonus Joystick:bit extension activity — use a wireless joystick to remotely drive the Bricks Car
