Micro:Bit BBC v2.2

The Micro:Bit BBC v2.2 is version 2.2 of the BBC micro:bit, a pocket-sized programmable computer made for learning to code. It has an LED display, buttons, a touch logo, sensors, a speaker, a microphone and Bluetooth on one small board, and it can be programmed with block coding in Microsoft MakeCode or with Python, so it suits children, teachers and makers alike.
