What is the micro:bit?
micro:bit is a tiny programmable computer, designed to make learning and teaching easy and fun!
You can use your BBC micro:bit for all sorts of cool creations, from robots to musical instruments – the possibilities are endless.
It can be coded from any web browser in Blocks, Javascript, Python, Scratch and more; no software required.
CoderDojo Banbridge were lucky enough to receive 10 micro:bit computers from the micro:bit educational foundation via the CoderDojo England and Wales team.
CoderDojo Badges
The CoderDojo foundation currently do not award specific badges for the micro:bit, but it can certainly be used as a tool to gain badges in python
