The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. It has an LED light display, buttons, sensors, a speaker, microphone and many other input/output features that, when programmed, let it interact with you and your world.
Visit What is the micro:bit? to find out more or explore all the features in depth through short videos.
You will need a computer, tablet or phone to write and send code to the micro:bit, but once the code is on the micro:bit it works as a standalone device with just the battery pack. Visit getting started for support taking your first steps with the micro:bit.
The Micro:bit Educational Foundation produces free coding tools and teaching resources to support you as you explore the potential of the micro:bit:
- Choose your perfect programming tool in Let's Code:
- Run whole class coding sessions easily with micro:bit classroom
- Teach block-based coding with Microsoft MakeCode or text-based coding with the micro:bit Python Editor
- Explore our free resources for teachers including:
- Quick projects for beginners and more advanced users
- Curriculum-linked lessons and units of work
- Professional development courses and events like webinars and code-alongs
- Classroom resources such as student handouts, reward certificates and posters
As well as givings students a hands-on approach to coding, the micro:bit is an engaging classroom tool that gives students confidence to try new things and get creative with technology.
