“Very well thought out SBC for just about all of the fundamental requirements for learning programming. Fairly easy to expand too. Ideal size for kids, a bit small for my fat fingers but not intended for that. Importantly - it's great fun!”
“i havent bought it from this website but i have used it at school from an electronics club. 100% this is a great way to get into coding you can write code in python or build it like on scratch. its fun and simple. definitely recommend.”
“For me, the micro:bit has all the hallmarks of a great learning tool, cheap, easy to 'plug and play' and rapidly understand from the off and certainly has enough visual feedback without adding 'expensive' add-ons to know your program is working, wish I had this when I was younger.
Youngest - 8 yo loves it, oldest - 12 yo, sees it as a bit 'limiting' after now using a Pi 4 and other devices.
The micro:bit did its designed job :-)
Still, for the price and ease of use, every child should have access to one of these.”
“Kids loved them so much so I had to buy myself a pair
(I recommend a minimum of 2 per person, it just increases the range of projects you can do. I use one as a remote to control the other) great fun.”
“A great fun toy to play with and a great way of learning and practicing programming. The MakeCode block-coding app is a very intuitive interface for getting started. The V2 micro:bit has some exciting built-in features to explore also.”
