    📣FYI: Right now through the Infosys Back to School Campaign K-12 Title 1 teachers can request 10 free micro:bits. 
     
    All you need to do is register for one 3 hour live PD. See how below.
     
    Let me know if you have any questions or get stuck in the process.
    This is truly a 'no strings attached' offer and we just want to see the micro:bits go to teachers who need them.
