What is Micro:bit?
A micro:bit is a microcontroller that kids can program. The micro:bit has buttons, LEDs, and built-in sensors. Additional external sensors and devices can be attached to it. Kids can make games directly on the micro:bit, program the micro:bit to work as a game controller for Scratch, and much more.
Project Examples for Ages 7-9
Here’s an example of a game that kids make in class. Game on the right is playable!
Project Examples for Ages 10+
Mobile App Coding (App Inventor)
Whether your child wants to learn the fundamentals of coding or become a programmer, the benefits of logical reasoning, factual analysis, and critical thinking will provide a strong foundation to rely on at school and in the workplace, for life.
