Get Creative, Get Connected, Get Coding

In this Make Oxford session, we introduce the rapidly expanding world of the microcomputer. The UK is a global leader of this technology revolution.

What is a microcomputer? Why should you learn to use them? This session will introduce you to the rapidly expanding world of the microcomputer; a crucial tool in learning to code and prototype devices to achieve real world solutions. Understanding this small but powerful kit is essential learning.

The Micro:Bit team, led by its CTO Jonny Austin, will guide you through the principles of using their Micro:Bit, from your first ideas to being able to code a functioning device.

The first 20 participants will get a free Micro:Bit device to take home and start coding – these can be used in Session IV of the programme in the MakeOxford space.

*Please ensure to bring you laptops with you to the session*

Light refreshments will be provided
