We’re launching a new set of resources to support you to run the do your :bit challenge and teach your students about the UN's Global Goals. do your :bit brings together the micro:bit and the Global Goals to challenge students to come up with creative tech solutions.

New Global Goals Guide

We have partnered with World’s Largest Lesson to bring you a brand new Global Goals Guide to help bring UN Goal 4, Quality Education, alive in classrooms around the world.
