Learn coding and electronics basics with the BBC micro:bit; a simple board designed especially for teaching kids and beginners programming concepts.

Beginning micro:bit will show you how to build awesome electronics projects by learning code in MicroPython, a simplified version of the popular Python programming language, in conjunction with the micro:bit, a tiny electronics board developed specifically to help kids (10+) learn to code.

You'll start with simple flashing animations and automatic text reminders, and go on to make a radio, quiz machine, weather station, secret code lock, and digital pet dino. The book focuses on using the mu text editor: a program designed to make coding the micro:bit as easy as possible.
