On this course children will learn how to use the BBC Micro:bit, a programable computer, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. A range of robotics and physical computing projects will be presented, which they'll solve using a variety of coding, electrical, and craft skills. Children will typically work in groups, and have to think creatively about how to use materials provided (household objects such as cardboard and tinfoil) to build their robotic creations.

Educational and academic benefits

• Computer Programming: Using Blockly, JavaScript, or Python
• Electronics: Creating simple circuitry to connect the Micro:bit to motors and lights
• Problem-solving:  Solving various engineering and machining challenges
