A curated list of resources for the BBC micro:bit, a tiny programmable computer designed to make learning and teaching easy and fun! This embedded board has a Bluetooth capable microcontroller, USB interface, accelerometer, magnetometer, light and temperature sensors, 5x5 LED matrix, buttons, and GPIO accessible via the edge connector.

Inspired by the Awesome lists.
