About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

Code a pocket-clock for the White Rabbit and don’t be late for this month’s Creative Computing Club! Turn a BBC micro:bit into a timer using MakeCode and set the device to show the time and (very important) date. Create a secret code that displays pictures to tell the hour, and play an alarm-ingly catchy theme-tune when the time is up! Don’t forget to save the date for Oxford's 'Alice Day' coming up in July…
