Introduction: Micro:bit and Coding
With the board micro:bit we have a big sandbox to make lots of interactive things, combining coding and phisical objects like servomotors or sensors.
Supplies
- micro:bit
- computer with internet access
- Some micro:bit addons (sensors, servomotors)
- Crocodile leads
Step 1: Pedagogical and Maker Objectives
Pedagogical:
- Learn to code with blocks (makecode).
- Advance in coding to achieve challenges.
Maker:
- Creativity.
- Building instructions.
- Coding
Step 2: Step by Step
1- Unpacking the micro:bit (micro:bit is a pocket-sized codeable computer with motion detection, a built-in compass, LED display, and Bluetooth technology built in).
2- No requires mechanical assembly.
3- Add code for autonomous operation.
4- Add sensors and servomotors. (sensors for air and weather, colour and light, and sound).
5- Put some challenges to advance in coding (make sense to add a servomotor to do something with his movement...).
