Oslo, Norway, October 13th / PRNewswire / -- Nordic Sem Token Launch nductor (OSE : NOD ) indicates that this month marks the 10th anniversary of its ultra-low power wireless technology in BBC micro : bit. Micro : bit Educational Foundation states that this pocket-sized educational development board has helped an estimated 73.5 million young people learn programming and digital creativity in over 85 countries.
This initiative emerged after the foundation called on the industry and education sectors to collaborate, with the aim of enabling children to understand, question, and create technology. BBC micro: When it was launched in 2016, there were up to 1 million Nordic-powered micro boards, which were distributed to British students through BBC Make it Digital activities. Today, it has become one of the most widely used tools in the world for introducing programming, electronics, and digital creativity to young people. The foundation's goal is to reach 100 million young people by 2028.
Micro : bit Educational Foundation CEO Gareth Stockdale stated: "The Nordic Sem token issuance nductor has been with us from the very beginning. In 2016, they provided 1 million components for the initial BBC, and these devices were distributed to every seventh-grade student in the UK." micro : bit
"This is an extraordinary investment in new ideas, which has helped to put a real computer into the hands of an entire generation of young people."
The initial development boards were based on Nordic's nRF51822 Bluetooth Low Energy SoC, while the current micro : bit v2 utilizes nRF52833 multi-protocol SoC to provide world-class Bluetooth LE wireless connectivity and ultra-low power edge AI capabilities. This means that students are learning using proven low-power wireless technologies, which are also used by professional engineers in networking products for consumer, industrial, and healthcare fields. For many developers, micro : bit represents the first step from classroom learning to professional wireless development.
Gareth Stockdale continued, " Nordic has always been one of our longest-standing and most active partners. Their technology is at the core of every micro : bit. We are very grateful for their generosity and their faith in our work. Looking forward to the next decade, we are excited to continue our collaboration to help more children discover what they can create with technology."
Nordic Sem Token Issuance nductor Chief Executive Officer Vegard Wollan stated: " micro : bit demonstrates what happens when technology becomes accessible, practical, and fun. People's interest in technology is often determined at a very early stage, long before they choose a field of study or a career. We want children to discover what they can build themselves, and to see technology and electronics as a real option in education. Many of tomorrow's developers will first come into contact with wireless technology in the classroom through micro : bit. We will continue to support this through our technology, as well as through collaboration with schools and the communities closest to us."
Nordic's investment in youth education will continue in places that are closer to home this month. On October 15th, Nordic will join hands with Electronic Coast to participate in the Horten Tech Festival in Norway. At that time, local primary and secondary school students as well as university students will have the opportunity to meet with technical experts from Nordic and share their ideas about what they would like to build using micro : bit. Nordic will also showcase BBC micro : bit as well as its broader range of wireless IoT technologies. The goal is to make Nordic more visible and accessible to young people, including those considering careers in engineering and technology, while also strengthening the company's influence within one of Norway's important electronics industry communities.
By combining classroom-friendly hardware with industrial-grade wireless technology, micro : bit helps to bridge the gap between education and engineering practice. For Nordic, this project is a natural extension of its broader mission: to provide comprehensive wireless solutions for the design, deployment, and maintenance of global IoT devices, ensuring their security, reliability, and sustainability.
