LONDON: The rollout of the BBC micro:bit –- the credit-card sized device aimed at educating 1,000,000 kids about coding and technology in the spirit of the 80s BBC Micro computer — has been delayed until 2016.
Originally slated to be given free to every Year 7 child starting secondary school in September, the device has been hit with manufacturing issues relating to its power supply. As such, it’s still unclear exactly when the device will arrive in schools early next year.
