length and breadth of the UK may currently find themselves in the grip of another lockdown, some are continuing to benefit from a small piece of technology handed to them just before Easter last year.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>More specifically, one million UK school kids have been handed a mini-piece of technology referred to as a BBC micro:bit, which is a fascinating innovation with a wide range of applications.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>But what exactly is a BBC micro:bit, and what exactly can you do with it from an educational perspective?\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>What is a BBC Micro:Bit?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\u003Cp>In simple terms, a BBC micro:bit is a small and wearable piece of technology that can be programmed to do a number of neat and innovative things.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-1/00bi-14.webp\" type=\"image/webp\">\u003Cimg alt=\"Technology – What is a

compact, pocket-sized computer, and one that has the capacity to teach basic coding and programming skills to kids across a diverse selection of age ranges.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Interestingly, the device follows on from the BBC micro, which was actually rolled out way back in the 1980s and helped to introduce the UK to the notion of basic computing!\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Of course, the BBC micro:bit can theoretically be used to teach basic programming and coding skills to people of all ages, but it undoubtedly has incredible potential as an entry-level innovation and one that’s helping to revolutionize secondary education in particular.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch3>\u003Cstrong>What are its Primary Functions?\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\u003Cp>The device features 25 LED lights and a total of two programmable buttons, which can be used either in-app or to skip through tracks on a playlist.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>You’ll also find that the device comes with a battery holder, a USB connection, and a cable, so setting up and using the micro:bit is incredibly quick and easy.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource

fitness and physical performance (across a number of activities) or serving as a games console.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>It can also be deployed as a simple digital watch, making it a multi-functional device that should hold appeal to a broad range of users.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Also read:\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca

the basic principles of computer programming.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cpicture class=\"image-align-left\">\u003Csource srcset=\"https://cdn.quasa.io/photos/foto-1/00bi-17.webp\"

interestingly, you can use the BBC micro: bit to recreate retro mobile games such as Snake, or bring your very own ideas and creations to like.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Each of these applications has broad and important educational merit, particularly as schools look to reach relevant and actionable skills to the next generation of functioning adults.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Thank you!\u003Cbr />\nJoin us
