NXP has established itself as a partner in this programme. This allows employees with children around eleven years old to request for such a micro:bit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/files.microbit.co.uk\/clips\/p037s9pw\/embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350px\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The 25 LEDs, two buttons, Bluetooth and the compass allow for much more experiments than just\u00a0the pedometer\u00a0or virtual pet. Children can, for example, learn how to pause, start and stop their music. With the built-in Bluetooth, they can make a remote control for the DVD player. There are also various inputs and outputs so that sensors can be connected.<\/p>\n<p>All these projects are <a href=\"http:\/\/make.techwillsaveus.com\/#project-grid\" target=\"_blank\"> on a website <\/a> with detailed explanations and codes. After connecting the micro:bit to a &#8216;big&#8217; computer or tablet, children can put other codes on the device. All this aims to teach the\u00a011-year-olds to code and to inspire\u00a0them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coding complicated?
