About this product
Overview
The BBC micro:bit V2 is a small, programmable computer designed to get children and young people into coding and electronics in a hands-on way. Created by the BBC in partnership with a range of technology brands, it has become the standard board for classrooms, STEM clubs and coding clubs around the world.
Measuring only 4 × 5 cm, it packs an Arm Cortex-M4 processor with 512 KB of flash and a genuinely useful set of inputs and outputs: a 5 × 5 LED matrix, two buttons, a built-in speaker and microphone, a touch-sensitive logo, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, a temperature sensor and a sleep / off mode.
It works with a wide choice of free online editors — from MakeCode blocks for absolute beginners through to MicroPython — so the same board suits a first lesson and a serious project. Thousands of free projects and lesson plans are available online. This listing is the official V2.21 board supplied with a frosted protective case.

Where you'll put it to work.
A pocket-sized computer built for learning: LEDs, buttons, sensors and radio on one board, programmable with blocks, Python or JavaScript.
Classroom coding
Teach computational thinking from the first lesson with MakeCode blocks, then move to MicroPython.
Robotics clubs
Drive motor boards and line-following robots; the built-in radio lets teams build remote controls.
Science experiments
Log temperature, light, acceleration and compass data straight from the on-board sensors.
