    The micro:bit  is  a small but  programmable  computer  that  helps  you  turn your
                     ideas into reality through exciting projects. In this chapter, you'll get familiar with

                     the micro:bit, learn how to set it up and create your first program to bring your
                     creations to life.

                     MICRO:BIT

                     A micro:bit is a small, pocket sized, easy to use minicomputer. It has a 5x5 Light

                     Emitting Diode (LEDs) display, two programmable buttons and sensors that detect
                     movement. You can write programs using block-based editors and then transfer it

                     to the device.

                     Components of Micro:bit

                     The micro:bit has several components, divided between the front and back of the
                     board. Let us explore the components in detail.

                     Front Components

                     The front of the  micro:bit  contains  all the user input  and output  components.

                     Let us learn the front components:

                        5x5 LED Display: A grid of 25 programmable LEDs that can display text, numbers
                        and images.

                        Programmable Buttons: Two buttons, A and B, that you can press to control
                        your project.

                        Touch-Sensitive Logo: A sensor on the logo that reacts when touched.

                                                                                           Meet the Micro:Bit
