Getting Started with micro:bit Part 1: Say Hello

With the micro:bit coming to America, we wanted to share how easy it was to develop for this little board from the BBC. Four programming languages are officially supported by the micro:bit, and we focus on the MakeCode block editor from Microsoft, as it is easily accessible by grade school students and adults alike. In this episode, we show you how to connect your micro:bit and upload a simple program that scrolls "Hello!" across the LED array and displays an image when a button is pressed.
