Product Overview
The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that you can code customise and control to bring your digital ideas games and apps to life.
Measuring 4cm by 5cm and designed to be fun and easy to use users can create anything from games and animations to scrolling stories at school at home and on the go - all you need is imagination and creativity.
The micro:bit is completely programmable. That means each of its LEDs can be individually programmed as can its buttons inputs and outputs accelerometer magnetometer and Bluetooth Smart Technology.
The micro:bit has a website full of coding languages lesson plans tutorials and fun ideas.
