Creating a Light Sensor using Micro:Bits

In this activity, children used block coding to create a light sensor using MakeCode and the Micro:Bits.

This activity links to learning about habitats, develops ability to write block code and encourages the children to use computational thinking to add control and decision-making to algorithms.

Resources:

Micro:Bits and laptops

Buzzers, LEDs, crocodile clips

Creating a Species Counter using Micro:Bits

In this activity, children used block coding to create a counter using MakeCode and the Micro:Bits.

This activity links to learning about habitats, develops ability to write block code and encourages the children to use computational thinking to predict outcomes to changes in algorithms.

Resources:

Micro:Bits and laptops

Possibly buzzers, LEDs, crocodile clips
