Duck Marshall 🚲<p>A friend shared some videos she did for the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/microbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microbit</span></a> and I watched them with my 7-year-old who got super enthusiastic and wanted one. My micro:bit arrived the very next day and he IMMEDIATELY got stuck in trying to code with it; he'd done some <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/scratch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scratch</span></a> at school so was comfortable with the visual coding. He followed the hot potato tutorial and improved it with his own sound effects. This is already an absolute win! </p><p>Looks like I'm going to need to buy another for myself, this one is his now!</p>

Bohdan Korablov 🇺🇦🇺🇸<p>This is the micro:bit 🙂<br />It can be programmed using Scratch and comes with various sensors, an LED matrix + 3 GPIO pins.<br />It’s a great starting point for kids aged 7+ to learn microcontroller programming.<br />My son had been using an emulator for some time, but having a real microcontroller is much more exciting 👍</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/microbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>microbit</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/microcontroller" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>microcontroller</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/microcontrollers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>microcontrollers</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/kidsprogramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kidsprogramming</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/scratch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>scratch</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/hardaware" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hardaware</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/microelectronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>microelectronics</span></a></p>
