Looks like a Micro:bit, but:
* Proprietary
* Around 4x the price
* With less community
* With worse documentation.
* With some learning pathway based on Dr. Who videos, which you can't preview before buying
* 5x the speed, colored LEDs, an oversized case and wifi.
I like Micro:bits, but part of the appeal is I could buy four of them to start off with, and expect to buy more over time. They're cheap enough to power projects, and they can communicate with each other.
I also really like Makecode with the Micro:bit. It seems a lot nicer than Tynker.
Doesn't really do it for me.
What would do it for me is a Micro:bit-compatible device with a basic touchscreen. One of the limitations of the Micro:bit is limited input. If I have Micro:bits controlling lights, or robots, or whatever, it'd be helpful to have a single "master" controller where I can control things from.
