What is Micro:bit?

A micro:bit is a microcontroller that kids can program.  The micro:bit has buttons, leds, and sensors, and new sensors at devices can be attached to the micro:bit.  Kids can make games directly on the micro:bit, program the micor:bit to work as a game controller for Scratch, and much more.
