Next steps with micro:bits

Have you made a start with programming micro:bits and want to dive deeper?

In this CPD webinar we explore the teaching and learning of computational thinking and data logging using the power of micro:bits.

This webinar is a follow on from the ‘Getting started with micro:bits’ webinar. We would advise you to watch this webinar recording here if you are brand new to micro:bits and have not attended the getting started session.

In this webinar will explore:

• Programming the main input and output of micro:bits, specifically the buttons, the LED display and the inbuilt sensors in Free Code micro:bit
• Deep dive into the programming of selection, sequencing and variables with micro:bits
• Exploring the data logging capabilities in conjunction with 2Graph

Benefits and outcomes:

• Understanding how programming physical devices can stimulate computational thinking
• Understand how the Purple Mash Scheme of Work can support you in delivering the computing curriculum in your class;
• Save time when planning and finding resources;

To get the best out of the session you will need:

• A laptop/chromebook device with a USB port
• A micro:bit with a USB lead (battery pack optional)
