NeoPixels are tiny, programmable, color-changing, LEDs manufactured by AdaFruit. NeoPixels make cool additions to micro:bit projects since they require little power, can be addressed individually or in groups, and can change color. Although MakeCode makes programming the micro:bit easy, there is too little documentation about how to control the NeoPixels.
ArtLogo is a browser-based no frills version of the Logo programming language created by Brian Silverman, creator of Turtle Art and countless other Logo dialects over the past forty years.
