This product is proof of the 'Intelligent Design' theory. If this doesn't turn a significant number of young (and older) minds onto the creative applications of computers I'll be very surprised.

Its a cross between an ARDUINO and Raspberry PI. You have access to hi level languages such as Python but you need a PC or smart phone to program it. Although not all smart phones work with it. The programming works from your web browser and does not require any software to be installed on your PC. The down side is that there does not appear to be any way of sending information from the micro:bit to your PC, all error messages are displayed on the microbits scrolling led display. The Python TIME function is very inaccurate at small values.

The BBC dis it agian, after the BBC Micro got so many kids enthousiastic, again a small computer will make young (and old kids kike me!) enjoy physical computing, on the thin line between hardware and software. There is so much quality support available for this device, from very simple to sophisticated! And no intimate knowledge of Linux required!
