Woah. That sounds really interesting. I'm a Python programmer and Code
Club volunteer, with a side interest in physical computing. The MicroBit
looks like a great intersection of all three.
Do you know of any way I could get my hands on one, or otherwise get
involved in the beta program?
Thanks,
-Tristan.

It's also worth mentioning (now that the NDA has timed out and the
project is announced) that the PSF is involved and we hope that there
will be several Python & MicroBit related things developers (and
teachers) can get involved in.
We also hope to have the MicroBit as part of the education track at
PyconUK.
More details to follow soon.

Hi,
Just thought it worth mentioning this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-31834927
From the article:
The BBC will be giving away mini-computers to 11-year-olds across
the country as part of its push to make the UK more digital.
One million Micro Bits - a stripped-down computer similar to a
Raspberry Pi - will be given to all pupils starting secondary
school in the autumn term.
The BBC is also launching a season of coding-based programmes and
activities.
Just thought it worth mentioning that while that pictures the
prototype, it uses an awful lot of python in the software stack.
:-)
Michael.
