Learn to code using the amazing micro:bit. We will use different programming languages to work with this versatile piece of hardware. We will start off with Microsoft MakeCode, then use the micro:bit in combination with Scratch to create and play games. Finally, we will use a text based “grown-up” programming language such as Python to control our micro:bit.
- Understand and use the sensors on board the micro:bit
- Learn to code the micro:bit using MakCode
- Use the new Scratch micro:bit extension
