Iceland
▪ First micro:bit roll out after U.K.
▪ Changed the Icelandic school
curriculum,with the focus moving
away from maximisingknowledge to
the application of knowledge - a
paradigm shift.
▪ A key aspect of the new curriculum
was afocus on codingand teaching
computational thinkingwhich they
used the micro:bit to deliver
▪ In Second year of project delivery

Singapore
Let by Adrian Lim Info-communications Media
Development Authority. Singapore now have 100,000
micro:bits in schools and the larger community. Which
is about 300 to 400 micro:bits per school.

Croatia - crowdfunding
Initially 20,000 micro:bits were given away to
primary schools and libraries as a result of a
crowdfunding campaign. This is over 1 thousand
schools.
25. Confidential © Micro:bit Educational Foundation 201825
Croatia - now
A further 75,000 in the process of roll out for year 6
and libraries funded by the government. Initial
research shows it has been a great success thus far.

Hinweis der Redaktion Waves = when we did the research so one pre-testing, then one after 3 months and one after 6-7 months, finally we did a teacher wave as well. first time The micro:bit Foundation also runs a sponsorship program for teachers working with disadvantaged children
In the last 7 months we have already sponsored over 25,000 micro:bits to 462 organisations in over 50 countries
Our micro:bit User Group in Sri Lanka is a great example, having already reached over 2,000 children
