Electronics and Coding With Micro:Bit - Ongoing Micro:Bits Experiments Club

The Micro:bit microcontroller is a powerful(and affordable) programming and design platform that can be used to to easily build anything from robots to lie detectors. Our class goal will be to learn how to write programs to give our microbits a distinct personality. We will learn how to use the MakeCode programming interface to control the Microbits, onboard sensors, LEDs and even add some basic artificial intelligence.  Your opinion and creativity matter in this student-driven class. Each week we will end class with an optional programming challenge that we will discuss at the beginning of the next week. The only items required for this class will be a Micro:Bit controller. I will recommend some additional items such as sensors once our class decides on the specific elements they would like us to focus on. Students can join the class at any time and quickly get up to speed working on this exciting project. No experience is necessary, but students who have already worked with the Micro:Bit will be able to take on more advanced challenges while we go over the basics.

Any of the following Micro:Bit Kits would be perfect for this class. Let me know if you have any questions and I will be glad to help. I have given several options since items do sell out on Amazon. A couple are a little more expensive, but come with more components.
