Review: I use this in my teaching to kids in the 10 y/o range. Sometimes with the game controller sometimes with one of the robots. Versus Scratch or Makecode alone, it makes coding very real to kids. They are programming a device to do something. So far all the devices have worked, though you have to precisely follow directions. It’s not unified yet.

I like that I can add the Jacdac sensors and make the games more interactive. If you are a fan of micro:bit, get this and start developing games. I have a couple of other MakeCode Arcade devices. This is by far my favorite. ## Frequently Bought Together - ELECFREAKS microbit Retro Makecode Arcade for STEM Education, Micro:bit Joystick Programming Learning Machine Supports Remote Control and Creat Games(Without Micro:bit) - ELECFREAKS microbit Mini Cutebot Kit Compatible with BBC Micro:bit V2 and V1, DIY Programmable Robot Car Kit, STEM Educational Project, Graphical Makecode Coding Car(Without Micro:bit and AAA Battery) - ELECFREAKS BBC Micro:bit V2.2 Board for Coding and Programming(not Include Micro USB Cable and Battery Holder) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/717207673-elecfreaks-microbit-retro-makecode-arcade-for-stem-education-micro-bit](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/717207673-elecfreaks-microbit-retro-makecode-arcade-for-stem-education-micro-bit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
