Featuring 25 LEDs, multiple sensors, Bluetooth wireless, and compatibility with popular programming languages like Python and Scratch, it empowers users from beginners to advanced programmers to build interactive projects. The included USB cable, battery holder, and batteries make it ready to use out of the box, while the edge connector supports expansion into robotics and electronics, making it a must-have for digital creativity and STEM learning.

## Description

The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that makes learning coding easy and fun. Start by programming on a computer or on a mobile device then download the program to the micro:bit. Beginners can scroll their name on the LEDs, design an emoji and create a game of rock-paper-scissors. More advanced programmers learn to use additional sensors and wireless capabilities. The micro:bit is a great coding tool for all skill levels to express their imagination and inspire digital creativity.

Review: Excellent little hobby and educational toy in the world of electronics and primitive computing. - I bought this for my stepson since this year in school he showed some interest in how electricity works with little miscellaneous electrical parts and some batteries he got from school. I was looking for something not so high level or advanced such as an Arduino Raspberry Pi which are very much fully computerized and ARM based CPUs to boot. I was looking for something simpler for him to start out with. Something similar to my old Parallax Propeller I had bought for myself years ago when he was still a toddler. This, though, compared to the Parallax is much more advanced for the money. Comes with more options than what the Parallax came with out of the box making this thing very promising. It has a series of sensors such as a gyrometer, and other features such as a bluetooth radio. There are other cool things, but I like the fact that it's also easy to program in a few different ways from what I've seen. If you have a very curious child who's into electronics and computing, for the price, I highly recommend this.
Review: Great little learing tool - I read other reviews that stated this product came in a bag. I ordered two cards and each came in the box pictured with batteries, a battery box, a USB cable, instructions, and the Microbit. If these were a present wrapping them would not have been a problem at all. I have only had a couple of hours to play with the card and I'm having a blast. This is a great way to learn a new language with tangible results. I'm not a programmer but I am in computers, using this to expand my toolset has been a lot of fun so far. I have really enjoyed learning micropython this way. I bought 2 cards as I already mentioned. The second I gave to my 11 year old. He has not put it down since I gave it to him. He has been online coding various projects with gusto. He even managed to debug a script I had written but didn't have time to fix, and made it work as expected. His only complaints are that the Chromebook has been using does not have a large enough display and that his fingers are tired from typing and mousing. We don't have any accessories yet, but I can see us purchasing a great many as we explore more projects together. $40 well spent, but I think we will both be in trouble with my wife if we don't get this under control. I'm having as much fun with him as I am with playing around with the microbit.
