Make it Digital scheme
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 from the BBC.
They will also be launching a season of coding-based programmes and activities which will include a drama based on Grand Theft Auto and a documentary on Bletchley Park.
