BBC reveals Micro:bit


The latest model for the pocket-sized computer was unveiled in London on Tuesday, which will be handed out to approximately one million children in the UK to encourage digital literacy.  




The single-board microcomputer is equipped with processors, sensors, a programmable array of red LED lights and two buttons and a built-in motion sensor that were not included in the prototype revealed back in March.



Similar to the Raspberry Pi microcomputer, it will be compatible with other computer kits and devices via Bluetooth, as well as flashing up messages on its LED lights. Micro:bit was designed and funded with a partnership of 25 companies including ARM, Barclays, Microsoft, Samsung, Freescale and Nordic Semiconductor.
