Micro bit:

The Micro Bit (also referred to as BBC Micro Bit or stylized as micro:bit) is an open
source hardware ARM-based embedded system designed by the BBC for use in
computer education in the United Kingdom. It was first announced on the launch of
BBC's Make It Digital campaign on 12 March 2015[5][6] with the intent of delivering 1
million devices to pupils in the UK. The final device design and features were unveiled
on 6 July 2015[7] whereas actual delivery of devices, initially planned for September
2015 to schools and October 2015 to general public,[8] began on 10 February
2016.[9][10]

The device is described as half the size of a credit card[11] and has an ARM Cortex-M0
processor, accelerometer and magnetometer sensors, Bluetooth and USB connectivity,
a display consisting of 25 LEDs, two programmable buttons, and can be powered by
either USB or an external battery pack.[3] The device inputs and outputs are through
five ring connectors that form part of a larger 25-pin edge connector. In October 2020, a
physically nearly identical v2 board was released that features a Cortex-M4F
microcontroller, with more memory and other new features.

Use of micro bit:

You can use it for science experiments, add shake inputs to games or make simple alarms that
alert you when someone moves your things.
