The North Olympic Library System (NOLS) is excited to offer BBC micro:bit kits to youth ages 10-14! The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. It has an LED light display, buttons, sensors and many input/output features that, when programmed, let it interact with you and your world.

Youth ages 10-14 can register at nols.org to pick up a free BBC micro:bit kit at their local NOLS branch. Look for the tutorial video on NOLS’ website or social media to see ways to use these one-program microprocessors to create fun projects using the kit provided and simple household items. Access to a computer, laptop, tablet, or smart phone is needed for this program. Laptops are available to checkout for 2-hour use on library property at all NOLS branches.

BBC micro:bit Kits are generously provided by Microsoft and the Washington State Library in partnership with local Friends of the Library Groups. For additional information on programs and services happening at your library, visit www.nols.org, email Discover@nols.org, or follow North Olympic Library System on Facebook and Instagram.
