The micro:bit is a powerful pocket computer that makes explaining the effects of code on our daily lives very more interesting, as we leave the computer as the sole code-carrying device, and venture into the world of hardware, such as traffic lights, cars, rockets, medical equipment and countless other devices.
The micro:bit will help us create clear and lasting connections between software and hardware.
In our activities the micro:bit will hold the Data and will send commands to the other devices we will be using. In a way, it will act as the brain of the operation, and it is here where our instructions (code) will be executed.
The micro:bit needs us to provide the required instructions or program to run. In the next section, we are checking out the right tool for this job, MakeCode.
