BBC MicroBit Announcement Now Live

From classrooms to wearable tech - the beeb is back!

Not sure if you guys have heard about this one yet, but the BBC MicroBit seems like it'd be right up the Top Members' techno alley.

 

The Beeb has announced the program now, which means we've run out some content around the initiative as well. Thought you guys would like to check it all out:

 

hexwab has kicked things off with a great retrospective on the BBC Micro of 30 years hence, and I've put down my own broken memories of high school computer rooms to usher in our micromemories tag.

 

If any of you guys spent your school days tapping away at the Beeb's colourful keyboard, blog it up in the The specified item was not found. (or comment on the existing coverage) to tell the community about those hallowed days of yore! And don't forget to add in the micromemories tag to put yourself in the running to win a C64 plug 'n' play game thing.

 

Let's go, retro!

    Here's one I made earlier (a lot earlier). Powered by a ZxSpectrum, not a BBC.

    You're not wrong there, peteroakes. It's not just the kids learning to code -- it's the teachers that'll need backup, support and ideas on what to do with it. Although there are already some cool ideas…

    Hello Spencer,

     

    read just few minutes ago on FB and checked on the MicroMemories. I have not clear if the blog posts (I have in mind to put something probably very original) also cover all non-C64 retro stuff and every retro-memory is ok or should be specific.

    Hey man!

     

    In this particular respect, we're looking at the BBC Micro given the new bbc_microbit has just been announced, although that's a distinctly British thing. It'd be equally great to hear about the early days of school computers in other countries, so if that was the C64 for you (or was something else entirely), then please go for it!

     

    Just remember to add in the micromemories tag so we can track your post. Let us know when you've published!

    I'll hook you up with something, even if we can't enter you into the competition

    Thank you Spencer, but don't spend too much time. It's a pleasure to remove the webs from my absolutely first documentation I have never produced in 1979
