Holidays Wishlist with the BBC micro:bit!

As a newbie, never had access to a pc in my early years and teens. I was only desperate to know what it is like to have and use one. I'd normally sneak in to have some few strikes on the keyboard of an old IBM computer owned by my brother. 

With a lot of unanswered questions on my mind, I always wondered how things worked on such devices. Little did I know that my curiosity was actually leading into finding myself and my passion. In 2016, I found myself owning an old Toshiba pc. But wait, I just didn't know what to do with that. Thanks to a neighbor who introduced me to the BBC microbit and makecode interface. 

This was wow, I enjoyed every bit what I did with the makecode online editor. I'd normally go round and gather children to come and witness the wonders.

Now the virtual is becoming a reality to me as I layed hold of my first physical Microbit pocket-size computer that is programmable in 2022. I was in a team that build several projects using the microbit device. My favourite of them all is the 'Smart pedestrian crossing' project. 

It looked like that was the end, but NO, it was just the beginning. How can I help children of today who are so curious and have lots of questions unanswered as in my case?

This led me into starting the BotTech STEM club where I train students in basic schools and high schools in Ghana.

This is exactly what the micro:bit is for. In the unlikely event that I'm picked as the winner of the micro:bit, can I have it sent to these guys in Ghana.
