BBC micro:bit – the next gen, inspiring primary school students to navigate the digital world
BBC micro:bit – the next gen has launched!
BBC micro:bit – the next gen is a partnership between BBC Education, the Micro:bit Educational Foundation and Nominet. Made possible by Nominet’s support, the partnership is donating a set of 30 micro:bits to every primary school across the UK that signs up, along with tons of teaching resources to turbocharge digital learning.
The goal? To equip primary school students with the skills they need to navigate the digital world and shape their own digital future. Plus, they’re aiming to boost their knowledge of computational thinking, programming, digital creativity, and even machine learning.
