## Join us on the microbit-community slack channel!

[Slack](https://slack.com) is a messaging service that allows teams and communities to connect online. It's a brilliant tool for live collaboration and the place to be for current micro:bit chatter!

Note: For technical support you should use [micro:bit help & support](https://support.microbit.org), where you can search for answers and raise tickets to ask the team questions. Slack complements, but does not replace, this portal.

Slack operate their own [privacy policy](https://slack.com/privacy-policy), make sure you have read and agreed with this before signing up.

If you'd like to join the slack channel, please fill in the form below. This form collects your email address and system metadata, in accordance with the [privacy policy of Freshdesk](https://www.freshworks.com/privacy/) our support system. We only use this to process an invite to Slack, after which the ticket is closed and archived. If you wish, you can always [deactivate your slack account at a later date.](https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/203953146-Deactivate-your-Slack-account).

Please notify <a href="mailto:help@microbit.org">help@microbit.org</a> if you wish to have your email address removed from the Freshdesk system.
