The BBC 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 measures 4cm by 5cm and is designed to be fun and easy to use. Something simple can be coded in seconds – like lighting up its LEDs or displaying a pattern – with no prior knowledge of computing. All that’s needed is imagination and creativity.

The BBC micro:bit also connects to other devices, sensors, kits and objects, and is a great companion to Arduino, Galileo, Kano, littleBits and Raspberry Pi, acting as a spring-board to more complex learning.


This listing of the micro:bit v2 does not include any cables for connection to pc or a power sources. We recommend picking up a micro USB cable as to program/power your board and a micro:bit AAA battery holder to power the board on the go
