Giving students a hands-on approach to coding, the micro: bit is an engaging classroom tool that gives students the confidence to try new things and get creative with technology.
I had been faffing around with Pico pi and Arduino to make a safety device for Motorcycles.
I received a Microbit and had developed proof of concept within ten minutes.
Love this little Microbit . V2 starter Ki
My kid absolutely loved it. I bought it with a case and it seems a good way of protecting the Microbit. You need some effort to close the case though. A good way to introduce your kids to programming and they can build on that later.
My teenager uses the web programming element of this as part of the high school curriculum, so thought it might be fun to see how the physical device works in comparison.
Well, its a programmable device similar to an arduino, however, you dont need any additional software to program this as once the script is compiled as a file from the web page, simply copy it to the micro:bit in the same manner as any usb drive.
The simple getting started instructions were easily followed and given my son has been coding for these at school, he had it doing all kinds of things in a short time.
One thing we found is that you need some small crocodile clip cables if you want to use sound or other features, as the I/O is provided from a strip of backplane pins.
