Overview:
The Introductory micro:bit workshop introduces teachers to micro:bit essentials—events, variables, sensors, LEDs—while exploring PRIMM pedagogy. The workshop embraces problem solving and group work.
Introduction to the BBC micro:bit:
Overview:
The workshop builds upon the introductory micro:bit workshop, focusing on advanced topics such as radio and serial communication, basic circuitry and expanding the micro:bit capabilities with sensors and peripherals.
Participants engage in a wind power challenge to apply and showcase the skills developed. The use of arrays in programming will be explored, including their application in micro:bit projects.
