The BBC will be giving away mini-computers to 11-year-olds across the country as part of its push to make the UK more digital.

One million Micro Bits - a stripped-down computer similar to a Raspberry Pi - will be given to all pupils starting secondary school in the autumn term.

The BBC is also launching a season of coding-based programmes and activities.

Exciting, and about time. I was also bemoaning the lack of the old BBC Micro Owl logo, but it’s been pointed out that the thing IS the Owl. I wonder if slightly older children* will be able to get one too.

*Me ;-)

Edit:

After the first million Micro Bits go out to schools, there will be no more.

So, no.
