Who we are

Inspire every child to create their best digital future

The Micro:bit Educational Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to inspire every child to create their best digital future.

We do this by:

• developing hardware and software that inspires young people to get excited about technology and the opportunities it presents for them
• creating free, user-friendly educational resources to support teachers in delivering engaging and creative lessons
• working with like-minded partners to deliver high-impact educational programmes across the globe.

Theory of Change

We believe that an ability to understand, participate and work in the digital world is vitally important to a young person’s life chances.

The BBC micro:bit is designed to excite and appeal to a broad range of young people including those who might have thought tech was not for them.

By inspiring more young people to learn digital skills, we aim to diversify the students who choose STEM subjects as they progress through school and into their careers. This, in turn, grows a diverse pipeline of talent, boosting social equity and contributing to the creation of better technology.
