Over at the Raspberry Pi Foundation, they say that they’re “platform agnostic”. In other words, whatever people can use to learn coding and electronics is all for the good. That’s why it’s encouraging to see them publish a new set of learning resources that revolve around the recently-released BBC micro:bit. These resources, which start here, use a language called MicroPython and a program editor called mu to interact with the micro:bit from a Raspberry Pi.

You can follow their Getting Started guide here, from which there are links to several other resources such as this great one in which the micro:bit is used as a simple game controller.
