Tinkering T-Rex Kit

The T-Rex was a ferocious carnivore that would happily eat you if it met you in real-life. Happily it is extinct.

We are bringing the T-Rex back!

Don't worry, we are not crazy scientists who have not read the cautionary tale of Jurassic Park. Instead, we want you to build a 3D T-Rex from flat cardboard pieces, designed by our good friend, Bartholemew Ting. Then animate it it with the micro:bit so that its jaw will move and it will have a fearsome roarrrrr whenever it senses prey nearby!

What's in the kit?

• 3D Diecut Cardboard T-Rex

• Craft wire (for the jaw opening/closing mechanism)

• DFRobot micro:Mate expansion board for the micro:bit

• Micro servo motor

• mini MP3 module with microSD card

• Octopus PIR motion sensor block

• 8ohm thin speaker

• Jumper wires

• Instruction manual

Not included

• Micro:bit (sold separately)
• MicroUSB cable (to code and power the micro:bit)
