Micro:bit

The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer designed to inspire every child to create their best digital future. The micro:bit device is a multi-functional tool that works in lots of different ways when programmed to do so. Through the micro:bit, learners are encouraged to explore their ideas while using real code and real computational thinking – as a tool, it makes coding fun. Through harnessing both the hardware and software, it helps grow learners’ computing knowledge and provides a practical purpose to their learning.

With the micro:bit you can code, customise, and control to bring your digital ideas, games, and apps to life! Programmed with MakeCode, the BBC micro:bit for coding is a great introduction to experimental code making. It acts as the brain behind the Climate Action Kits.
