    I'm planning a micro:bit course for children in my hometown and this would be ideal to slowly make the transfer from microcontrollers to Linux. Kids would be able to see that what they have learned in Make Code can also be done in Linux (distance sensor readings, lighting up LEDs with the push of a button). AND the games they program in Make Code Arcade can be exported into an ELF binary and played on the Raspberry Pi.

    Hi, we are father n son weekend maker. we always want a Pi for our project to take it to the next level. Currently we make do with Arduino for few project now. Would love to use this as our next Mars Rover project as localized control, and try it with some a.i machine learning code to pick up selective rock like a real rover would do. Here is the recent weekend project, a replica satellite we did for as entry for World Space Week contest. Thx
