Introduction: Micro:bit and Coding

By MakerConvent
About: Un espacio maker trabajando con la ciudadanía y el barrio. Con la intención de acercar las nuevas tecnologías a todo el mundo.

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...).
