The BBC micro:bit is a powerful handheld, fully programmable, computer designed by the BBC and a number of partners. It was designed to encourage children to get actively involved in technical activities.
It features a 5x5 LED Matrix, two integrated push buttons, a compass, Accelerometer, and Bluetooth. These features make it a great introduction to the world of programmable components and the wider internet of things.

Write your code using one of the easy to use editors provided on the mocro:bit Foundation website. Then, connect your BBC micro:bit to your computer via USB and press the compile button in the editor. Finally, drop the downloaded file directly onto your BBC micro:bit and run your program. There are also Apps for Android and iOS devices for coding and for control over Bluetooth, such as our free Move Android App.
Wirelessly connect and interact with the world around you. Use Bluetooth to connect to mobile phones and tablets, take a selfie or drive the music in your playlists. You can also code the microbit to interact with other micro:bit's using the radio blocks in the Microsoft MakeCode Editor. All of this in a device only 5cm wide!
We have seven different BBC micro:bit buying options available to order. Everything from single boards to Classroom packs, and to a BBC micro:bit bundled with a Kitronik Inventors Kit.
To help you get the most from your microbit we have produced an extensive list of learning resources. You can find these resources on our BBC micro:bit - Kitronik University. You can also find lots of great project resources on microbit website.
