The micro:bit is a small computer board with an ARM Cortex-M0 microprocessor plus sensors and LEDS. It is part of an initiative to get kids coding. Interested? Here is my full review.

  1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

    Thanks and God bless!

  2. another popularity contest of programming languages? after suffering basic, machine code, assembler, pascal, c, c++, java, javascript, perl, shell, bash, css, html, php, R, I opt out.

  3. Block building needs to go. Kids will be turned off when they see the complexity of actual code. They are being lied to, they think "Look what I did with my micro:bit, I'm such a good programmer"…. All the while they haven't seen nor written a single statement of code.

  4. this is great! I've just gotten into programming and I have 2 raspberry pis I've been tinkering with.i was about to buy are but I'm going to try this out instead.

  5. I know what BBC means
    ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

  6. So funny you would mention Commodore 64 my very first Job was Toyrus where I sold those computer's which got me interested in Tech and Computer's from their I learned how to take them apart. I then went into Manhattan and started looking for a job.Thanks for sharing Memories.Deb

  7. Gary what are your thoughts on having programming taught in highschools? Maybe not even pure coding, but courses such as Critical thinking, or courses in logic. Teach relational algebra, logic in the real world, and maybe a language like Visual basic.

    Myself as a student in Comp Sci, its amazing how this sort of field changes the way you think through complex problems, I personally think it should be a requirement to take some sort of logic class. Huge companies habe recently been sponsoring Code.org in order to help push teaching programming to younger audiences

  8. Hi Gary, thanks for this. Have you tried attaching external components using the pins? Is there a connector system to do so or are you expected to solder?
