Have you ever wondered how your computer works, what the difference is between a radio and a Wi-Fi signal, or do you just think technology is cool and you want to build your own robot or STEAM project? Then let’s explore the exciting world of electronics and coding!

micro:bit

The micro:bit is a great way to introduce yourself to computer programming and learn about the fundamental electronic components used in nearly every device you can think of.

During the lessons, you will use the English language to talk about your project. Additionally, you will practice your English writing skills when creating a project plan and describing the steps to write your program using MakeCode.

With the micro:bit, you can build amazing projects while practicing your English language skills. Sensors, motors, indicators, and a zillion more components can be included into your projects – your MakeCode program decides how they will work together!

Below are a few examples of the many electronic parts we can explore in full detail, all of these can be used in your STEAM project.

'The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.' – Albert Einstein
