computers are being given out by a  very special guest let's take a look

hello YouTuber Dan TDM is in this  school as part of the BBC's micro  

bit launch a new mini computer that  will be used in schools up and down  

the country to help teach kids code and  to do pretty impressive things LED screen  

it plays sounds I caught up with Dan to find  out more so today I've arrived at school which  

is it's been years since I've been in a primary  school to deliver some micro bits yeah yeah I've  

delivered these so that we can learn to code the  assembly it was loads of fun I had a lot of fun  

playing rock paper scissors on these thing and  now I'm going to try and learn how to make that  

what kind of things can it do it can do it can do  loads so it's got loads of sensors on it it's got  

like antennas microphones it can be a compass as  well I can play sounds you can type out words as  

well so it can it's pretty unlimited actually of  what you can do now why do you think coding is  

such an important skill to learn I think it's so  important because it's everywhere like nowadays  

literally I don't think there's a job I can think  of that doesn't involve some form of computer like  

at the base of it right thank you so much for  that Dan I think it's time we check out the  

lesson to see how the kids are getting on with  coding yeah let's see what they've made let's go  

everyone click on the pink section I like how  you can make like your own pictures oh wow

yeah this is an igloo and this is their heart but  I'm looking forward to maybe trying to make it  

play music it can be fun and educational in some  important ways you can just use your imagination  

on it you don't really need to follow like a  instructions on it you can just like program  

it however you want why do you think coding is  an important it's important for some people's  

jobs like for people's futures so like you  know more about computing and stuff like  

that coding in general what I really like and  to think that there's like this tiny piece of  

Machinery it's just so amazing it's just really  fun well it's clear to see that coding Mania  

has taken over this school so I'm gonna spend  some quality time with my new little friend
