Whats a microbit ?

See https://microbit.org/

The micro:bit is the spiritual successor of the BBC Micro of the 1980s, which itself introduced a generation of children to computing. The micro:bit carries on this tradition and does it 17 times faster and is 70 times smaller than its predecessor.

This powerful handheld, fully programmable, computer designed by the BBC and a number of partners to encourage children to get actively involved in writing software and building new things that will be controlled by it.

Featuring a 5x5 LED Matrix, two integrated push buttons and a compass, accelerometer and bluetooth all on-board, the device makes a great introduction to the world of programmable components. The main I/O rings can be used as outputs to control LEDs, motors and much more, and also as inputs to connect external sensors and switches.

All the challenges described can be completed on a virtual microbit which can be seen here
