Intro to the BBC Micro:bit (ages 9–11)

The workshop will introduce students to the features of the BBC Micro-bit, a programmable device with powerful features, despite only being the size of a credit card. Students will programme the Micro-bits to perform a series of tasks exploring the light, sound, radio and movement features. No previous experience of the BBC Micro-bit is required.
