💡If you have the V2 micro:bit, you can use the gold logo as another input in your projects. It uses capacitive touch, sensing tiny changes in electrical fields to know when your finger is pressing it - just like your phone or tablet screen 📲

Motorcycles are a unique and swift form of transport. I learn about gearing and building a simple motorbike model by using the Nezha Inventor's Kit V2.
