micro:bit Playbook: Hands-On Curriculum, Projects, and IoT Labs for Educators and Makers is a practical, classroom-ready guide that equips teachers, makers, and education technologists with everything needed to teach, prototype, and deploy projects using the micro:bit platform. It presents a clear, hands-on exploration of the board's hardware—ARM Cortex-M architecture, onboard sensors, LED and audio subsystems, wireless radios, power-management strategies, rugged design, and expansion options—so readers understand both capabilities and real-world constraints when building lessons or products.

The Playbook moves from theory to practice with richly developed curricula, step-by-step projects, and lab exercises that span beginner to advanced levels. Detailed coverage of development environments—MakeCode, MicroPython, and native C/C++—is paired with practical instruction on sensor APIs, custom drivers, asynchronous patterns, and testing and debugging workflows, enabling educators and makers to design reproducible lessons and robust prototypes that scale from a single desk to full classroom rollouts.

Beyond the lab bench, the book addresses advanced communications and IoT integration—Bluetooth Low Energy, mesh networking, cloud connectivity, security and compliance considerations, and deployment strategies for fleets of devices. It also surveys emerging directions such as sensor fusion and edge AI, while offering guidance on continuous integration, accessibility, community engagement, and management practices so readers can confidently build, deploy, and maintain impactful micro:bit solutions.
