What: At Big Bang Fair 2016, ARM and the BBC will jointly demonstrate the new BBC micro:bit pocket-sized computer that will be given to one million Year 7 (11-12 years old) school children from March 22, 2016. The team will provide an insight into the variety of exciting ways in which children can use the device to create innovative projects. The initiative will inspire the next generation of children into learning to code and it builds on ARM’s commitment to encourage students into STEM careers.

The device is the result of a technology collaboration between 29 organizations including Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, Microsoft and Samsung. Full micro:bit partner list here.

Where: NEC Arena, Birmingham, UK

When: Mar. 16-19, 2016
