## Useful information and supporting resources

The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. It has an LED light display, buttons, sensors, a speaker, microphone and many other input/output features that, when programmed, let it interact with you and your world.

Visit [What is the micro:bit?](/content/get-started/what-is-the-microbit/index.html) to find out more or explore all the [features in depth](/content/get-started/features/overview/index.html) through short videos.

You will need a computer, tablet or phone to write and send code to the micro:bit, but once the code is on the micro:bit it works as a standalone device with just the battery pack. Visit [getting started](/content/get-started/getting-started/introduction/index.html) for support taking your first steps with the micro:bit.
