micro:bit

The experience of programming has never been so fun

Developed by BBC England, inspiring children to integrate the world of computational thinking.

Micro:bit was born out of a partnership with the BBC (the British public television) and 29 other leaders from the academic and business world. Designed to be more didactic, attractive, and to facilitate interest in teaching programming and robotics, micro:bit is smart and accessible to help train a new generation of innovators.

Here are some ways to integrate micro:bit into your educational ecosystem

Differentials and characteristics of micro:bit

Ready for use: micro:bit does not need any other equipment to be used

Radio communication: Different users can communicate with each other through their micro:bits, enabling interaction and even game creation

USB interface: Load programs directly from your computer to your micro:bit

External battery: Accompanied by a holder for two AAA batteries

Bluetooth: Communicates with smartphones and various other devices

Matrix with 25 LEDs: LEDs that allow individual programming

Buttons: Two buttons that allow interaction with the program flow

Interaction with the world: Can be connected to motors and other components from digital and analog pins

Light sensors: LEDs that detect ambient lighting

Temperature sensors: Able to read the ambient temperature

Accelerometer: That identifies and differentiates different types of movement

Magnetometer: It has a magnetic sensor that can be used as a compass

The education we seek to build is closely related to the construction of a better world and is also one of the goals of micro:bit.
