Art:bit is an app that brings artistic expression to coding. A great tool for younger learners, Art:bit makes playing with the micro:bit as simple as a child’s flipbook.


At this time, art:bit is only compatible with micro:bit v1. To learn how to identify your micro:bit version follow this link.

This app is currently unavailable for download.

The art:bit interface combines the ease of block-based coding with the endless creative possibilities of LED animation. Using art:bit is easy enough for young learners but challenging enough for all ages. Scripts execute directly on the micro:bit and download with a simple click.

This app is brought to you by Kids Code Jeunesse (KCJ), an educational not-for-profit, who developed it with Playful Invention Company.
