You don’t need lots of complicated peripherals to get started – all you need is a PC or mobile device to programme it on. To get started you will need:

• A micro:bit and battery pack with 2 x AAA batteries
• A computer, phone or tablet with internet access code editors to programme your micro:bit
• If you’re using a computer, a USB lead to connect your micro:bit
• For building and making projects with your micro:bit, some extra items that are great to have include headphones, crocodile clip leads and conductive materials such as aluminium foil and paper clips.

Once the micro:bit is programmed it will then stay in the flash memory and you can run it every time as many times as desired. Then you can re-programme it when you want to try a different project, 1 programme can be held at a time.

It is compatible with lots of free online code editors designed for different knowledge levels across a number of different programming languages so you can find something to suit how you want to learn or teach.
