The world of IoT will need not only many more engineers, it will require that everyone can feel comfortable with technology and feel confident to not only use it, but to harness its possibilities into the many things that will improve our lives in the 21st century. Nordic engages with its partners to bring technology education across a wide range of ages and abilities. From Bluetooth to cellular, from micro:bit and Arduino to university programs, Nordic is committed to education initiatiatives and making our technology accessible to students, educators and to those who just want to learn and join in on this technology revolution.
Flexible, powerful wireless SoCs with broad peripheral sets and I/O. Accessible development tools and extensive software support.
Micro:bit | Arduino
The BBC micro:bit began a revolution in tech education for kids and adults alike. One million kids received a personal BBC micro:bit in 2016. Built around an nRF51822 Bluetooth Low Energy SoC at its heart, micro:bit takes advantage of the power, range of peripherals and flexibility that the nRF51822 has to offer. It is now being adopted around the world as simply micro:bit helping the next generation get inspired by tech, coding and inventing.
Arduino is legendary. It helped spawn the Maker Movement over 10 years ago, and remains an integral in the world of Makers still. There are a range of Arduino boards using nRF52 Series SoCs that offer powerful processing possibilities, Bluetooth
Low Energy and other technologies all on one board.
The nRF52 Series allow complex programs with Bluetooth connectivity coupled with Arduino’s famously easy-to-use tools and interfaces, and of course its huge and vibrant developer community.
