Introducing the brand-new micro: bit V2, a must-have for technology and STEM enthusiasts. Now available with improved features to the hugely successful predecessor board with over 4 million boards being sold worldwide. This powerful, pocket-sized computer will be loved by all that use it. Designed to teach kids coding and solve problems using technology.

What is a micro: bit？

The micro: bit is only half the size of a credit card. It is equipped with a 5x5 programmable LED matrix, two programmable buttons, accelerometer, electronic compass, thermometer, Bluetooth, new touch-sensitive logo, microphone, speaker, and other electronic modules.

What are the differences between micro: bit V1.5 and V2.0
