Our micro:course is a colourful, introductory book of projects that guides learners from first principles of the micro:bit through to the use of Python. It is intended for self-study and includes full explanations of each project, with all code also provided. It is available in two versions: for micro:bit v1 and for v2.
Which version should I use? If you are using micro:bit v1s, we recommend downloading the v1 version of the micro:course. If you are using micro:bit v1 or a mixture of v1s and v2s, we recommend the v2 version, which clearly indicates which tasks relate specifically to v2 users.
To introduce, inspire and engage learners to study Physical Computing as well as serving as an introduction to the pedagogy and resources offered in our full courses.
- Learners will understand and apply the fundamental computational techniques to solve contextualised problems
- Learners will apply computational techniques including abstraction, decomposition logic and algorithms
- Learners will become more confident in using micro:bits to build Physical Computing projects
- Learners will understand how technology can be applied to the real world
The micro:course is a series of individual projects that build in complexity.

Arm is committed to making the language we use inclusive, meaningful, and respectful. Our goal is to remove and replace non-inclusive language from our vocabulary to reflect our values and represent our global ecosystem.
Arm is working actively with our partners, standards bodies, and the wider ecosystem to adopt a consistent approach to the use of inclusive language and to eradicate and replace offensive terms. We recognise that this will take time. This course may contain references to non-inclusive language; it will be updated with newer terms as those terms are agreed and ratified with the wider community.
