Now this is is a micro:bit project (and a film reference) that can really speak for itself. Get it? Speak? We’re hilarious.

Doing the voices for our robot actors is a lot of fun but how about getting the micro:bit to talk? We can create retro-sounding computer speech easily.

What you’ll need:

• A micro:bit, battery pack and micro USB cable, plus a suitable computer for programming.
• 2 crocodile clip leads.
• A piezo speaker or an audio amp or even an old pair of earphones (don’t use a good pair in case you wreck them).
