Last month, over 200
micro:bit community
members gathered
together at the BBC in
Media City, Salford for two
days of micro:bit themed
talks, workshops and even
parties.
The micro:mag team
got the chance to attend the
event and enjoyed every part
of it, so did all the attendees.
The Micro:bit Educational
Foundation are excited to
announce their plans for
micro:bit Live 2020 which
will be a different format to
this years event. The foundation
want people from
around the globe to have the
chance to attend micro:bit
Live, however, they realise
that everyone travelling to
Salford isn’t possible. The
idea for micro:bit Live 2020
is to have regional events
around the world under the
“micro:bit Live” banner and
they want the community to
offer to host an event. If you
think this is something you’d
be interested in knowing
more about, you can fill in
the form linked on the right
to get added to the mailing
list. We can’t wait to see
where the event will go next
year and hopefully attend
some of them! If you’re
interested in reading about
micro:bit Live 2019, we’ve
got a micro:bit Live special
coming up next issue so
make sure you’re subscribed
to the magazine to be the
first to know when Issue 7 is
released.

the foundation about hosting a micro:bit
Live 2020 event:
