                   «   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.

                   «   The front of the micro:bit contains all the user input and output components.
                   «   The back of the micro:bit helps the device function and interact with its surroundings.

                   «   Microsoft MakeCode is a free tool that helps you to create projects with your micro:bit.
                   «   The Micro:bit interface is the screen where you create your code. It helps you build, test,
                       and download your programs easily.

                   «   The Toolbox in MakeCode contains blocks that you can use to control your micro:bit.

                   «   The Extension tool lets you add extra blocks, like connecting motors or sensors to your
                       micro:bit.
