- Entrants agree to be bound by these Terms and any other requirements set out in the material relating to this Prize Draw.
- The Survey will start on Thursday 1st October 2026 and close on Monday 16th November 2026 (the "Promotional Period"). No submissions will be considered for the Prize Draw outside of the Promotional Period.
- The Prize Draw is free to enter – no purchase is necessary.
- The prizes are one of ten Amazon vouchers, each worth £50 GBP or equivalent in local currencies (Euro, USD, Uruguayan peso or Yen), based on the exchange rate at the time of payment (each a "Prize").

- Entrants must follow all the instructions on the Survey form.
- Multiple entries are permitted per Entrant so long as each Survey response relates to a different student. No Entrant can win more than one Prize.

The full range of these numbers will be entered into an online random number generator which will select from these numbers at random. The first ten numbers it selects that each represent a different Entrant will be the ten winners (each a "Winner"). Records of the draw will be retained by the Promoter.
- Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received.
- The Promoter accepts no responsibility for entries not successfully completed due to a technical fault of any kind e.g., technical malfunction, computer hardware or software failure, satellite, network or server failure unless this has been caused as a result of the Promoter’s own fault or negligence. Proof of delivery of the entry is not proof of receipt.
- Contact details Entrants provide will only be used as agreed in the Survey and the Terms of this Prize Draw.
- The Promoter will use reasonable endeavours to contact the Winners using the email address in the contact details supplied upon entry to the Prize Draw and who will be given details of how to claim their Prize within seven days of the Draw Date. If the winner does not respond within seven days of the first notification, the Winner forfeits their right to claim the Prize. The Promoter shall not be responsible if the Winner provides incorrect contact or delivery details.
- The Promoter will make available the surname and country of the Winner to anyone who makes a request by email to info@microbit.org within 30 days after the closing date stated in section 3 of these Terms.

In such circumstances, the Promoter may still provide the information and winning entry to any regulator or court on request.
- If Entrants live in Canada, before being confirmed as a Winner, selected Entrants will be required to complete a time-limited, four-part mathematical skill-testing question, without assistance. If Entrants answer incorrectly or do not respond within the required time requested, they will be withdrawn from the Prize Draw.
- In the event a Winner forfeits the Prize, the Promoter reserves the right to award the Prize to a reserve selected at the same time as the original.
