So a million year 7 students will be getting their hands on the Microbit from today.
Will we see a serge in new innovations in 10 years time? Or are they a waste of money?
I remember my primary school getting a BBC Micro, I was forever programming it........

Because schools cannot afford to give every student in year 7 one each whereas the microbit will be available to every child who wants one, all infrastructure, development and distribution being done at no public cost by commercial partners.
In short it is a brilliant BBC micro for a new age and could be the seed of a new generation of IT.
Something not even attempted by any of our hopeless politicians |

I have an excited Year 6 person hoping he can get one in 6 months. He's disappointed he can't get one yet. I see I'll be buying another Pi.
