Making connections (Part 1)

In the 'Making connections' lessons, students will experiment with examples of using the micro:bit’s General-Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins to connect it to external hardware components, such as LEDs and speakers. The ability to connect the micro:bit to additional components enhances the built-in capabilities for input and output.
