Description
Class Experience
Learn how to use the MakeCode editor Learn how to program the micro:bit Learn how to use the micro:bit's built-in accelerometer, display, buttons, speaker microphone, and thermometer. Write 4-6 programs using the micro:bit's features.
I have been teaching coding with the micro:bit for over 6 years.
You need a Version 2 micro:bit, and a micro-USB cable (you probably own 10 of these cables!). Some sources: https://www.amazon.com/Microbit-Starter-Kit-Micro-Built/dp/B09MBBT9YL/ref=sr_1_9 https://www.okdo.com/us/p/bbc-microbit-v2-2-single-board/ https://www.sparkfun.com/products/17287 https://vilros.com/products/microbit-v2 Please be very careful and make sure you are ordering a Version 2 (V 2). Prices and availability vary wildly! If you just want to get the Yahboom kit (needed Robotics - Part 2 class) with or without the micro:bit: https://category.yahboom.net/collections/mb-robotics/products/wom-sensor-kit-microbit?variant=39416926699604
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Learners need to drag a file in the (Finder MacOS or File Explorer on PC), and many do not know how to do this, and struggle. Parent help may be needed to learn this skill!

About Me
I teach coding classes using Scratch and micro:bit robotics on OutSchool. I truly believe that Scratch is the best coding platform for kids. And micro:bit is by far the best "physical computing" device for learning robotics! I love the excitement...
