Micro: bit Education Foundation

The Micro: bit Education Foundation is a non-profit organization aimed at inspiring every child to create their best digital future.

We achieve this goal through the following methods:

• Develop hardware and software to stimulate young people's interest in technology and the opportunities it brings

• Create free and user-friendly educational resources to help teachers provide engaging and creative courses

• Collaborate with like-minded partners to provide high impact educational programs on a global scale.

We believe that the ability to understand, participate, and work in the digital world is crucial for young people's life opportunities.

The original intention of designing the BBC micro: bit is to inspire and attract young people, including those who may think that technology is not suitable for them.

By encouraging more young people to learn digital skills, our goal is to make STEM students more diverse in school and the workplace. This, in turn, will cultivate a diverse talent pool, promote social equity, and contribute to creating better technologies.
