Program execution – The process of running a code on the Micro:Bit to see the results.

Download – Saving the program as a file that can be transferred to the Micro:Bit.

Upload – Transferring a program file from a computer to the Micro:Bit to make it run

Getting started is so easy! Just follow these 2 guides

First we'll go through this simple guide together.
Then follow this one for how to create your first program and how to download it onto your Micro:bit

Now you have the basic skills, you're ready to create and test your first programs

These are all on the Micro:Bit website.

Find and complete these first programs here

Then explore some of the other programs.

This awesome website below gives you many more options too...

Everytime you make a project, have a go at experimenting, customising, and changing the code to see what it does.
