What is the micro:bit?

The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer designed to make coding fun, interactive, and accessible for everyone. With built-in features like LEDs, sensors, and buttons, the micro:bit empowers you to create digital projects that connect with the physical world. Whether you’re designing a light display, building an interactive game, or solving real-world problems, the micro:bit is an ideal tool to spark creativity and introduce the basics of coding and physical computing.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The micro:bit serves as the brain of our Climate Action Kit projects. It processes input from the environment, runs your code, and delivers output to interact with the physical world.
Inputs and Outputs: A full list of the micro:bit’s input and output capabilities is available on the Micro:bit Educational Foundation’s website. Make sure to familiarize yourself with these features as they are essential for getting the most out of your device.
