The Media Centre has a detailed press release about the event, including the partners involved. Further information about the coding device can be found on the BBC micro:bit website. Leo Kelion has collated 'Seven Outstanding BBC micro:bit projects' on the BBC News website.
To mark the day one million BBC micro:bits were distributed amongst schools, Director-General Tony Hall used one of the coding devices to start trading at the London Stock Exchange.
Tony was joined by BBC micro:bit partners at the London Stock Exchange opening, and joined in the countdown before trading began.
