Welcome to MicroBit!
The BBC Micro:Bit is a tiny computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together, and helps you learn how to code. Even though it’s small, it can do a lot! You can use it to display messages, create games, and even connect it to other devices.
In this course you will be learning all about the MicroBit hardware, how to create simple programs using the MakeCode language, and how to use this knowledge to solve problems and have fun.
Microsoft’s MakeCode editor is the perfect way to start programming and get creating with the BBC micro:bit. The colour-coded blocks are familiar to anyone who’s previously used Scratch, and yet powerful enough to access all the features of this tiny computer.
By the end of the course, you will:
Understand the Micro:Bit and Its Components
Develop Basic Programming Skills Using MakeCode
Create Interactive Programs Using Inputs and Outputs
Use Sensors to Detect Motion and External Conditions
Explore Sound and Music Coding
Communicate Wirelessly Using the Micro:Bit
Apply Logical Thinking and Problem-Solving in Coding
Design and Build a Creative Micro:Bit Project
