Purpose/Use/Notes:

I just started teaching here. My classroom has a full set of micro:bits and I would love to use them in my classroom. Students will code on this website, then download code to the physical micro:bit controllers. This can be used to teach block code, Python, and JavaScript. It can also be used to teach basic circuitry.
