Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2021 - Micro:Bit to the rescue

24 Dec 2020

It's been super boring because of the pandemic, I had to stay in my hometown away from all my development boards, kits, and any hardware to have fun with.

 

Then came the Micro:Bit's MakeCode editor (Microsoft MakeCode for micro:bit) to rescue me from my boredom and to have some fun.

 

I grab this opportunity to wish Element14 Community members and staff a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2021 in advance.

    Micro:bits are great - far better than a Raspberry Pi for capturing the imagination of younger kids. My boys have a micro:bit v2 each in the Christmas stocking.

    Great that you were able to get them in time for Christmas! I’m sure your boys will have fun. I pre-ordered one for myself, but I won’t get it until after New Year’s. Timing doesn’t matter that much to…

    I pre-ordered one for myself, but I won’t get it until after New Year’s.  Timing doesn’t  matter that much to me though.
