Not every child - every Year-7 (11-12 year old) child, whose school had a teacher interested enough to apply for them.
My child's DT teacher did, but they used it for one lesson, then were given it to bring home. It's now in a drawer somewhere.
That was last year. I haven't heard of any plans to repeat the exercise.
- clort 10y agoAs I understand it, it was not the DT teacher -- the government gave one to every year 7 child for themselves to keep and use however they wish. This is nice in a way but the teachers at my school bemoaned that they couldn't really use them in the class, since the students could not really be counted on to bring them in when required. If you think that the school would benefit from them, then contact the PTA or the school governers and get them to ask parents to donate unused micro:bits to the school?
