A four-year, NOK19.95m ($2.3m) program will see the tiny computer put into the hands of all year 5 to 7 pupils in Norway’s primary schools to stimulate interest in computing and the IoT
Nordic Semiconductor today announces that the ‘micro:bit’, a Nordic nRF51822 Bluetooth® Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) System-on-Chip (SoC)-powered, credit card-sized programmable computer for schoolchildren, will be distributed to 100,000 year 5 to 7 pupils in Norway.
A NOK19.95m ($2.3m), four-year program financed by Sparebankstiftelsen DNB, a Norwegian charitable foundation, will be administered by The Knowledge Center and Lær Kidsa Koding (LKK), non-profit organizations that teach children IT and coding skills, together with the country’s regional science centers. The micro:bit is also being made available to LKK’s 160 code clubs in Norway. The distribution will be accompanied by a training program for teachers and free online support.
The micro:bit was first developed by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), a U.K. public service broadcaster, and key technology partners, including Nordic Semiconductor, Arm, Microsoft, and Samsung. It was designed to teach children coding skills and increase the number of students studying computer science at university."
"Nordic Semiconductor was pivotal in the original development of the BBC micro:bit and remains pivotal to its success to this day "

PS:
Spennede å se om shorterne snart kaster inn håndkleet.
Trodde først det var short-inndekning det handlet om når kursen begynte å gå fra ca 29 og opp til nå 34.
Men vi har denne bølgen i vente...
