Micro:bit Chip

In 2015, BBC launched the second programmable microcomputer: a super mini-computer, small enough to put in your pocket and powerful enough to help people of all ages with learning basic programming at a low cost. In 2016, millions of microcomputers have been provided for middle and primary school students in Britain.

Don’t underestimate the power of this little microchip. From simple singing and dancing robots to survival mars rovers, your micro:bit has all the features you need to code awesome stuff- the possibilities are endless! We can build at least 40 kinds of robots with it. It’s possible to learn multiple programming languages; for example, block programming, python, JavaScript, and C++.

Your micro:bit has the following features:

  • 5×5 LED screen and light sensor
  • 3 Buttons
  • 1 accelerometer
  • 1 compass
  • 1 temperature sensor
  • 25 pins
  • Bluetooth
