«Whilst it is too soon to evaluate the impact of the launch of the BBC micro: bit in changing the current generation of students from passive end users into creators of technology, showing capability in coding and digital creativity, feedback at this early stage is suggesting that the device has created

widespread availability now means that schools can
build upon this to create a diverse, cross-curricular platform for the teaching and learning of digital skills,» comments Geoff Hampson.
