Intro to micro:bit
Students learn the basics of the micro:bit, such as how to light up and change the brightness of LEDs and how to use variables to write more versatile programs. |
|
Program Control with micro:bit
Students combine control structures, such as if/else statements and loops, with the micro:bit built-in and external sensors to write programs that react to the outside world. |
|
Advanced micro:bit
Students explore all of the capabilities of the micro:bit on their own as they research, explore, and teach their peers about new sensors. |
