This is the tiny, but feature packed, chip we discussed at Saveur last week: https://microbit.org/guide/features/. Great learning tool.
It is surprisingly capable .. it can "chat" to other microbits .. let them "swarm". It is programmable with "blocks", python, javascript. > 25 individually-programmable LEDs > 2 programmable buttons > Physical connection pins > Light and temperature sensors > Motion sensors (accelerometer and compass) > Wireless Communication, via Radio and Bluetooth > USB interface You use a browser based simulator to write programs, loading them to the microbit via usb cable. A $20 starter package has the microbit, a usb cable, and a battery pack for using the microbit disconnected from your computer. https://www.amazon.com/micro-bit-BBC2546862-Micro-go/dp/B01G8X7VM2/ -- Owen
