• MICROSOFT PXT (BETA) is a programming environment created by Microsoft (still in beta version) that supports both a Scratch-style block graphical environment and the Javascript language.
• PYTHON was and still is in development to allow programming of microcontrollers in a Python-compatible language. The opportunity to use the Python language allows for continuity, in a hypothetical educational path, towards the use of more complex systems such as microcomputers capable of hosting GNU/Linux, such as the Raspberry Pi series.
• MICROSOFT BLOCK EDITOR is a visual editor very similar to Scratch and represents the starting point for those who want to start programming. Like Scratch it is very simple to use but it is not a toy. It allows you to
  deepen structured programming and event management. The method of composing a program consists of choosing the blocks that represent the instructions, dragging them into the editor panel, configuring them in the customizable parts and "fitting" them correctly.
• MICROSOFT TOUCH DEVELOP was developed to create programs for the micro:bit using tablets or other devices equipped with a touch screen. Obviously it can also be used by normal PCs using a keyboard and mouse.
• JAVASCRIPT is a development environment that allows those who have made progress in programming to develop programs using the textual syntax of Javascript, with a guided editor that supports the "click and drag" method for composing lines and blocks of code .

• 25 red LEDs that can be lit with different intensities to create drawings, animations and games.
• Two buttons that can be managed via program to customize its behavior.
• A reset and restart button.
• An accelerometer capable of detecting and recognizing different types of movement such as shaking, rotations and free fall. Useful for making a motion sensor or animated games.
• An electronic compass capable of detecting orientation and rotation in degrees with respect to North. A further use could be as a (magnetic) metal detector.
• A USB connector to connect the micro:bit to your PC to load software programs.
• A connector for external power.
• A Bluetooth Smart Technology module that allows you to connect the micro:bit with other devices equipped with the same technology such as other micro:bits, PCs, smartphones, Bluetooth kits, tablets and cameras.
• A temperature sensor capable of detecting ambient temperature.
• A connector with 24 pins, five of which have pads suitable for connection with crocodile clips. Analog and digital I/O, communication bus and other functions described in more detail below are available on the connector.
