g e s 1 1 + A 3 0 . 0 0 £ MICRO:BIT + ACTIVITY KIT B B C The BBC micro:bit is the spiritual successor of the BBC Micro of the 1980s, which itself introduced a generation of children to computing. The BBC micro:bit carries on this 30 year tradition and does it 18 times faster. At only 5cm wide, it also is 70 times smaller than its predecessor. This powerful handheld, fully programmable, computer designed by the BBC and a number of partners to encourage children to get actively involved in writing software and building new things that will be controlled by it. Featuring a 5x5 LED Matrix, two integrated push buttons and a compass,accelerometer and Bluetooth all on-board, the device makes a great introduction to the world of programmable components. The main I/O rings can be used as outputs to control LEDs, motors and much more, and also as inputs to connect external sensors and switches. The main rings are large enough that young people can easily connect to them with crocodile clips or conductive thread. Write your code using one of the easy to use editors provided on the micro:bit website, connect your micro:bit to your computer via USB press the compile button in the editor and then drop the downloaded file directly onto your micro:bit. Wirelessly connect and interact with mobile phones and tablets using Bluetooth LE - whether it's for a selfie or to drive the music in your playlists. 2 0 | A G E S 1 2 +
