🔬 micro:bit

Coding Made Fun for Everyone

The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized microcontroller board designed to make learning programming and physical computing accessible to children and beginners. Originally created by the BBC for the UK's Make It Digital initiative, it has since become a global classroom staple — with over 7 million distributed to students worldwide.

Despite its small size, micro:bit packs an LED matrix, buttons, accelerometer, compass, Bluetooth radio, and edge connector into a device that can be programmed visually (MakeCode) or with Python — making it equally suitable for complete beginners and educators teaching computational thinking.

• 5×5 LED matrix, buttons, accelerometer, compass, Bluetooth
• Program with MakeCode (visual blocks) or MicroPython
• Edge connector for attaching accessories and breakout boards
• V2 adds speaker, microphone, and touch-sensitive logo
• Ideal for classrooms, coding clubs, and STEM education
• Huge library of beginner projects and curriculum resources
