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!

    Damn you BBC Micro!!

     

    Its amazing how many our school had that went unused.. I made it my mission to put scrolling text on them all that I learnt from programming my Acorn Electron! check out the "micro men" documentary, its all about the battle of computing from the good old days!!

     

    Messing with the BBC's was one thing but getting a go on plotter was another, that little turtle robot was guarded by a group of old beardies ready to battle to the death should any young whipper snappers like me try and get within arms reach!
