Last Updated: 08 December 2017

So, What is s2m?

s2m is an open source Python program that acts as a bridge between the Scratch 2 off-line editor and the micro:bit computer. It allows you to easily create Scratch programs that interact with the micro:bit.

Major Features

  • It runs on Windows, Mac, Raspberry Pi and Linux.
  • It is easy to install.
  • It is easy to use.
  • And it is a whole lot of fun!

Why The Scratch Off-Line Editor?

Many schools have limited or no internet connectivity. Using the off-line editor allows the maximum number of students to have access to s2m. In addition, using the off-line version means that Raspberry Pi users can also enjoy programming with s2m.
