Get hands-on with computer science and technology making computing fun and meaningful.


Microbit is a pocket-sized computer that transforms learning and how we make sense of the world and computing technology. Microbits make computing physical.

Get a Microbit kit and start exploring what you can code. After trying out and playing, reflect on the following questions:
  • What was your experience of using a Microbit? What impact did it have on you?
  • How can you use this game in your training and learning activities?
Submit your reflection responses to the badge evidence below.
