BBC micro:bit

The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized codeable computer with motion detection, a built-in compass and Bluetooth technology

The BBC micro:bit can be used for for all sorts of projects, from robots to musical instruments, and can be programmed using a number of languages, both text and block-based.

Our projects all use MicroPython for which we recommend the Mu editor.
