Arcade

You can program video games on your Microbit, using specialized hardware that looks like a portable game console. We will be using three different consoles.

Elecfreeks Retro Programming Arcade

This device is a controller and screen for a Micro:bit; you will need to have a microbit to plug into it.

Electfreeks Retro Arcade for Education

This handheld console looks a lot like the one your parents played as kids, but it has a Micro:bit inside of it.

Kittenbot Meowbit

The Meowbit is also a Micro:bit with a screen and buttons, but it also has a connector under the white cover, so you can plug it into robots like a regular Microbit.

Programming the Arcade

To Program these devices, you will need a different version of Makecode, Makecode Arcade (opens new window).
