We always have mixed feelings about the drag-and-drop programming languages. But we were impressed with [SirDan’s] Morse code decoder built with the graphical MakeCode. Granted, it is reading… ...

As coordinator for the SJCOE’s Code Stack Academy, Stockton’s first not-for-profit coding school, he’s familiar with micro:bit and uses it in classroom and lab programs.

University of Cambridge theoretical physicist Damien George has built a tiny microcontroller that is more powerful than Arduino and far simpler than the Raspberry Pi. Just funded on Kickstarter ...

If you need your code run instantly once your MCU gets power, mind the interpreter takes a small bit of time to initialize – about one second, in my experience.

Every primary school in the UK has been offered a micro:bit to help children explore computing and learn to code. But what exactly are they and how do they work?

Meet Dan TDM, Gyas i Sheppy, Alex Humphries and Abby Cook as they visited primary schools around the UK to deliver free micro:bits to help kids learn to code.

Now, the playground survey provides a pathway to encourage schools to get the most out of their micro:bits with hands-on opportunities to code tools for use in real life.
