The Annual Do.your:bit Challenge

The Annual Do.your:bit Challenge

This is an annual challenge founded by the Micro:bit Educational Foundation, World’s Largest Lesson, BBC and Arm.

It is a global competition for tweens and teens to combine creativity and technology in solutions for the Global Goals. The challenge invites learners to identify and research a problem, then design and code solutions using the BBC micro:bit. 

Every year STEAMLabs Africa partners with the do.your:bit organizers to bring this global challenge on Sustainable Development Goals using the Micro:bit kit to encourage learners of ages 8-18 in Kenya to  exercise their imagination and combine creativity. 

We have a team of mentors to assist students during the whole period until submission of projects. STEAMLabs aims at submitting as many projects as possible hence advice for numerous students to participate in the competition.

The do your :bit challenge adds social purpose to digital learning and allows students to apply their digital skills to real world solutions. As part of the do.your community Partners, STEAMLabs Africa also trains educators and  learners and supports their challenge submission in Kenya.

One of the students at STEAMLabs Africa, Shanice won the do.your.bit Challenge 2022. Read her story here: https://microbit.org/projects/do-your-bit/winners/2022/
