Description
The TinkerBott Micro:bit Car is a hands-on introduction to robotics for students who are new to coding. It is programmed with MakeCode’s drag-and-drop blocks, so learners build working behaviour before they ever write a line of text-based code — then move on to real autonomous driving.
Key features
- Block-based programming using MakeCode, no prior coding experience needed
- Obstacle avoidance the car senses objects ahead and steers around them
- Line tracking follows a marked path automatically
- App control drive the car manually from a mobile device
- Micro:bit board included no separate purchase required
Learning resources
Programming: MakeCode
Tutorial languages: English, Chinese
Curriculum: 16 structured lessons
Ideal for
Primary and lower-secondary STEM classes, coding clubs, and home learners taking their first steps into robotics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need coding experience to use this?
No. The car is programmed with MakeCode, where you drag and snap blocks together rather than typing code. Students build working behaviour first and pick up the underlying logic as they go.
Is the micro:bit board included?
Yes. This version ships with the micro:bit board in the box, so there is nothing else to buy to get started.
What can it do without any programming?
Straight out of the box it will follow a marked line, steer around obstacles it detects ahead, and be driven manually from a mobile app.
Is it suitable for a classroom?
Yes. It comes with 16 structured lessons, so it can be run as a scheme of work rather than a one-off activity.
