my kid and the microbit

[James D Jarvis]

My youngest kid just got to fiddle with a microbit in school this week in STEM lab class and rushed home and wrote a space invaders game in smalltalk and javascript in an emulator to try in class. They are a nifty little gadget. The kid liked it so much we ordered one online last night (with a fancy power supply so it can work without being plugged into another device, well....a battery attachment.)  

I of course looked into it and sure enough some folks are programming for them in BASIC. Anyone here know anything else about microbits and BASIC?
