FAQ

Q: Do I need micro:bit V1 or V2?
A: micro:bit V2 is required for MakeCode Arcade and MicroCode on Newbit.

Q: What’s the difference between the two options on this page?
A: “Without micro:bit” is the shield only. “With micro:bit V2” includes the board (and cable where listed) so a class can start immediately.

Q: Can students play without a computer after download?
A: Yes. Build in MakeCode Arcade, download once, then play offline on the color screen with the 6 buttons.

Q: Newbit vs Meowbit — which should I buy?
A: Newbit turns a micro:bit V2 you already own (or buy in the bundle) into an Arcade / MicroCode handheld. Meowbit is a standalone MakeCode Arcade console with its own screen and buttons.
