AB  - Our civilization has moved deep into the computersociety.Unlike the economy, schools very slow carry out the necessary transformations.The application of different technologies in the educational process, on theone hand, accelerates the teaching process while on the other hand it makes itmore interesting and acceptable to participants. Therefore, various initiativeshave been launched aiming at a faster transformation of the school system. Withan ubiquitous trend of accent on the STEM area, the logical way of solvingproblems is the foundation of development. Programming logic is recognized as atool that will be the basis for any business. In search of affordable solutions,in order to cover as many of today's pupils as possible, Micro:bit  areselected. Micro:bit can also be used to enhance computational thinking,learning, and problem-solving across disciplines. More than 30 countries aroundthe world began to use Micro:bits in their education systems. In Croatia, thiswas accomplished through various projects involving almost all schoolinstitutions and spreading across libraries across the country. The aim of thispaper is to show that projects with a high impact on education can be realizedwith a small amount of funds. We will show some of the started projects, thecorrelation they have created among subjects in school and generations ofchildren. The impact that a Micro:bit has on education in Croatia is indisputableand therefore we will try to give examples of good practices described in theprojects for future use of this technology in teaching.
