About this position
micro:bit Live Global 2026 is an international event celebrating a decade of the Micro:bit Educational Foundation, inviting educators, researchers, innovators, nonprofits, and policymakers to share creative projects, research, and campaigns that advance digital education. The event, supported by Nordic Semiconductor, will be held in Barcelona, Spain, on 27-28 February 2026. Participants can submit proposals for posters, short presentations (under 5 minutes), or short workshops, with the possibility of being invited to other session formats such as panels or demos depending on program needs.
The call for proposals is open globally, with a focus on educational technology, AI, gamification, business intelligence, and cloud computing. Submissions should align with the micro:bit community and the Foundation's mission to inspire every child to create their best digital future. The primary language of the event is English, with live translations available in the main auditorium. Presenters must submit their proposals online and provide details about their project, learning outcomes, and connection to the micro:bit mission.
No specific academic degree or experience level is required, making this opportunity accessible to a wide range of professionals and organizations. However, proposals should demonstrate relevance to digital education and innovation. There is no mention of financial support or scholarships for presenters, so applicants should plan accordingly. The deadline for submissions is 1 December 2025, and all proposals must be submitted via the official online form.
