The latest micro:bit has an amazing amount of computational power for a tiny device. In fact, it’s powerful enough to drive a small color display. If you have ever used [MakeCode Arcade](https://arcade.makecode.com/), you may have noticed there are a variety of [Arcade shields](/blog/arcade/arcade-on-microbit-xbox) (also called expansion boards) now commercially available.

This gives you access to the best of both worlds:
