The Micro:bit includes two important elements that make this project work: the LED matrix and a gyro sensor. [Turi] built a 5×5 button matrix for inputs and paired each to one of the diodes ...

And by using a second BBC micro:bit, we can get the readings before heading outside. First, we need a DHT11 sensor, and to check whether it works using one micro:bit.

The Micro Bit can then be made to interact with its built-in sensors and buttons to make its 25 LEDs flash in different patterns, letting it display - for example - letters and numbers.

Eventually non-students will be able to buy a Micro:bit for their own DIY purposes, but for now unless you're a teacher, student, or lucky journalist like me, you're probably out of luck.
