The new micro:bit V2 is the latest revision of everyone’s favourite powerful palm-sized, and fully programmable computer.

Conceived by the BBC to encourage children to get actively involved in writing software and building new things that will be controlled by it.

V2 is the same size and shape, and it works in the same way as the original micro:bit.

All of the original micro:bit features are still present and are coded in the editors in exactly the same way.
