There is also a lot you need to know about the website

On the left side of the page, you see a picture of a microbit. this picture will show you the results of your program. You can use it just like a microbit, it has all the features that microbit have.

2. Programming area

The large blank space is the programming area, you do the programming here.

3. Changing the way of programming

If you are familiar with JavaScript you could change the way you program into JavaScript instead of using blocks.

To do that, you could go to the top of the age and click the button that says “ { } JavaScript ” and start programming!
