The great thing about the microbit is that it's not just a processor - it include fun hardware on the board out of the box. This means that you really don't need anything else to get started making something. You can just use the existing buttons, lights, accelerometer, compass, etc first, and then add your own things later. If I could get my hands on them, these would be my first choice to teach kids with.
