micro:bit Club 10-Pack: The British Invasion is here! No, not music… microcontrollers! The BBC micro:bit is one of the newest and easiest ways to learn programming and electronics.

Designed specifically for kids and beginners, the micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customize and control to bring your digital ideas, games and apps to life. It’s a small, code-able device that is a non-intimidating introduction to programming and making – switch on, program it to do something fun – wear it, customize it, develop new ideas. See more!
