A playful introduction to the world of programming: the little robot Proxi plays "rock, scissors, paper", can calculate, can be used as a compass, measures the temperature and can be controlled remotely via an app. Even building Proxi is part of the learning and playing experience: it gives junior programmers an ideal insight into how Proxi works while also training their fine motor skills. For beginners, KOSMOS offers ready-made codes to download so play can start immediately. Of course, children can also program the micro:bit board themselves or modify existing codes. The instructions explain how to do this in a child-friendly manner and with the help of a clear example.
Micro:bit Educational Foundation
Proxi is a micro:bit accessory kit recognised by the Micro:bit Foundation. This is why Proxi users have access to all the know-how and projects available within the gigantic micro:bit community. Users can access the programming editor and community projects via the microbit.org website. This is run by the Micro:bit Educational Foundation, a non-profit organisation whose aim is to give children access to IT education.
