The mikro:bit is a small, programmable microcontroller designed by the BBC for educational purposes. It aims to introduce children and beginners to the world of coding and electronics. The device features a 5x5 LED matrix display, two programmable buttons, a compass, an accelerometer, and various input/output pins. It can be programmed using a block-based editor called MakeCode, which is visually intuitive and beginner-friendly, or through text-based languages like Python and JavaScript.

The mikro:bit is powered by a microcontroller chip and can be connected to a computer via USB for programming and power. It can also be powered by batteries, making it portable for standalone projects. Its versatility allows for a wide range of applications, from simple games and animations to more complex robotics and sensor-based projects. The large community support and extensive educational resources available for the mikro:bit further enhance its appeal as a learning tool. It has been adopted by schools and coding clubs worldwide to foster computational thinking and digital literacy skills.
