Simple, easy-to-use blocks programming language for the BBC micro:bit and other microcontrollers
MicroBlocks is a free blocks programming language inspired by Scratch that runs right inside microcontroller boards such as the micro:bit, Circuit Playground Express, and many others.
MicroBlocks is a live programming system. As you click on blocks and make changes to your program, you see the results immediately on the microcontroller without the need to compile or download. When you're ready, you can disconnect the board from you computer, connect a battery, and go. Your code runs autonomously, so you can carry your creation in your pocket, build it into an art project, or even wear it!
MicroBlocks is free software, released under the Mozilla Public License v2.0.

- Every spring, I teach an after-school robotics class for middle school grades 7 and 8. The students find MicroBlocks easy to use even if they have never coded before. This year, the addition of support for Bluetooth Low Energy allowed students to change the code on their robots wirelessly, which helped them learn more go farther in the limited time we had.

- This is an amazing application for programming on Chromebooks! I appreciate and love the features of real time coding and the streamlined user interface for focused programming.

- MicroBlocks is the BEST blocks-based physical computing tool I have ever used. It's amazing. It lets you program your microcontroller boards (micro:bit, CPX, ...) LIVE. See more at http://microblocks.fun
