Join us for a series of webinars to learn all about how to bring middle school science to life through programming and instrumentation building using micro:bit and SparkFun's line of gator:boards.

Developed with student engagement and educators’ need for something simple in mind, SparkFun’s line of [gator:boards](https://www.sparkfuneducation.com/maker-education/gatorboards.html) are designed to easily expand the micro:bit’s capabilities through alligator clip connections to rapidly and easily add sensors to any project.
