Starting from this morning, March 22, about a million teachers and students across the UK will begin to receive a free BBC Micro:bit computer. The idea is to get an easily programmable/tinkerable computer into the hands of kids, to get them into techy stuff at a young age—much like the BBC Micro in the 1980s.
They'll be made available later this year.
The app is available to download for free.
The future of entertainment is here. The BBC, in collaboration with Rosina Sound, is working on an interactive radio play for artificial intelligence-enabled home chatbots like Amazon’s Echo and Google Home.
