According to reports, since the launch of the Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi), there have been many similar products coming out so that more people can learn programming at low cost. Unexpectedly, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) also launched a similar product, and the second generation of Micro:bit. It is also a tiny computer that helps young people learn basic programming knowledge. It is similar in size to a credit card (4cm x 5cm) with 25 red LEDs on it for displaying messages and games, two programmable buttons, and embedded Accelerometer and magnetometer. There are also low-power Bluetooth, microUSB jacks and 5 I/O rings for alligator clips and 4mm banana plugs. Compared to the Micro before the BBC, the new Micro:bit is 18 times faster and 67 times lighter than the new processor.
Of course, the BBC is not alone in developing this computer. In fact, there are ARM, Microsoft, Samsung and Barclays help. They are expected to distribute the Micro:Bit to a million UK 7th grade students (about 11 to 12 years old) in October and have them complete the study plan. And in the summer, the BBC will set up a website to teach students how to use Micro:bit to complete the program. Of course, the BBC also has friends who care for students. They will provide Micro:bit open source materials and set up a non-profit company later this year to sell Micro:bit in the UK.
The following is an official article excerpt:
The device has a programmable red LED array with two buttons and a built-in motion sensor not included in the prototype shown in March. But another change means the device no longer has a button battery clip. This may affect its appeal as a wearable device. To use it as a standalone product will require an additional fifth battery clip.
BBC Director-General Tony Hall said the device should help solve the problem of children only knowing how to use a computer at school but don't know how to program.
“We all know that there is a critical and growing digital skill gap in this country, which is why it is so important that we come together to do something about it,†he said at a press conference in London.
