Hello! It depends, in most courses we usually have 10 kids per group and everyone gets a set. In other courses we would have 2 kids per set, that also works well. We do usually have one micro:bit and device (laptop) per kid, so everyone can write their own program. They then build the hardware together in a group of two and swap the micro:bits to test each program. It is of course also possible to share a computer but you would probably have to make sure the kids swap the roles at some point. Often, if not controlled, one kid will try to "take over"... 🙂
Thanks for this video. Do you get the children to pair up and work as a team when using these kits?
