The Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost microcontroller board from Raspberry Pi built on their own RP2040 chip. It has a dual-core ARM Cortex-M0+ processor, 264KB RAM and 2MB flash, plus unique PIO (programmable I/O) blocks. It is programmed in MicroPython or C/C++ by simply dragging a file over USB, which makes it great for learning as well as real projects. (This board has no Wi-Fi – for Wi-Fi choose the Pico W.)
