Abstract
This study analyses the use of micro:bit to improve the coding performance and the analytical skills of kids in elementary school. A sample of 460 students ranging from 6th grade to 9th grade and 60 IT teachers were selected and analyzed. Both students’ skills and teachers’ abilities were the focus of the effort to point out the role of the method micro:bit was used to improve overall students’ coding abilities and academic performance. In the end, a web-based application is designed to allow students to get enrolled to attend specific coding courses and thus, improve their coding abilities.
