Core values

- **Addressing Local and Global Issues**: The "do your :bit" challenge encourages young people to tackle local and global problems, such as climate change, deforestation, water pollution, and more, by creating innovative solutions using the micro:bit[1].
- **Promoting Digital Inclusion**: The project aims to broaden participation in technology, especially for those who might otherwise lack access, focusing on girls and disadvantaged groups. This helps in diversifying the STEM pipeline and promoting social equity[1][2].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: By engaging young people in solving real-world problems, the project helps in creating solutions that can improve the quality of life in their communities. For example, projects like food waste reduction systems, river waste monitoring, and alarm systems for forest fires[1].
- **Global Citizenship and Community Well-being**: The project fosters a sense of global citizenship and community responsibility, encouraging children to think about their role in a larger global community and to take ownership of solving problems related to the Global Goals[1].
- **Mental Health and Well-being**: The micro:bit projects also focus on well-being, including tracking sleep, promoting empathy and collaboration, and providing a safe space for discussions on mental health and well-being[4].
