Who we are
Inspire every child to create their best digital future
The Micro:bit Educational Foundation is a UK-based not for profit organisation. We were established with the support of our founding members (including the BBC) in September 2016 to secure a legacy for the original BBC Make It Digital project in which a million micro:bits were given to UK school children.
We became fully operational on 18th October 2016, and our mission guides us to support exceptional educational programmes across the globe.
