I use them both at my school (7-12) and at the Coder Dojo I mentor at (mostly kids years 4-7-ish) and they are an absolute hit.

I've been having a blast looking at different concepts and projects which I can use when teaching Digital Technologies (the Australian learning area for CompSci types of ideas).

Personally as a teacher they've also done a world of good for me in learning about the basics of electronics and getting a better understanding of embedded programming (had some fun optimising MicroPython code to do what I want).

Some of the projects I've built with them (some for myself and some for teaching): - https://headtilt.me/dowsing-for-radio/ - https://headtilt.me/microbit-haunted-house/ - https://headtilt.me/designing-a-microbit-robot/

And a bit about some of the common components I use with them: https://headtilt.me/year-8-microbit-robotics/
