MICRO:BIT
The micro:bit is a board that allows us to connect any electrically conductive material to a computer or tablet via a cable or bluetooth. With this we can create interactive and accessible posters and stories, musical instruments, games and everything we can think of.
Barbie Karaoke glasses
From the excitement of celebrating the end of the school year with a karaoke, we ventured into the world of creativity and crafted our own karaoke bands, drawing inspiration from the empowering message of Barbie movies.We have made personalized karaoke glasses that amplify the joy of self-expression and bring our favorite tunes to life.
These glasses are not just an accessory; they're a portal to a world where you can sing your heart out to any song, setting the stage for an unforgettable karaoke experience. Elevate your performances by designing custom karaoke backdrops and videos with the help of Canva and Scratch.
Unleash the pop star within you and let the music carry you away into a night of celebration! 🎵✨

SDGs: The Barbie Karaoke Voice-Activated Glasses project aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education by fostering creativity and technological literacy in children through a hands-on coding experience with micro:bit and Tinkercad. By integrating STEM concepts into playful and interactive fashion accessories, the project contributes to SDG 5: Gender Equality by encouraging both girls and boys to explore and engage with technology. Furthermore, the emphasis on voice-responsive and LED features underscores SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, showcasing a blend of innovation and education in a fun, accessible manner.
Description: This activity is about designing a band or glasses with micro:bit and neopixels that bright to the sound of music.
What does it mean to be green?
Currently, energy consumption has become a real problem that threatens our environment.
In this learning situation, students focus on actions to prevent energy waste, contributing to the SDG number 7 of the 2030 agenda: Affordable and clean energy.
In this learning situation, the aim is not only for students to be more critical of energy consumption but also to promote the use of technology to be more sustainable. It is designed with Tinkercad tools, MakeCode and the Micro:bit driver.
Recommended age: 8-10 years old

Harry Potter magic spells
This activity involves re-enacting a part of Harry Potter's tale, using one of the spells he uses. It is designed using the MakeCode tools and the Micro:bit driver.
Recommended age: 8-10 years old.
Basic skills: C1, C5, C6, C8, C9.
Description: This activity is about creating real magic with the help of the Micro:bit and its radio function, but it can be done using any story and on any subject.
Materials:
Micro:bit
Tablet and/or computer
Implementation:
The number of sessions is indicative.
SESSION 1-2
The first task will be to find the spell they want to reproduce and make the magic wand where we will place some copper strips on each side and an LED so that it turns on when it does the magic.
SESSION 3-4
Let's start programming with MakeCode or Scratch.
SESSION 5-6
Create the craft with which they will use the magic, in this example, since it was fire, they created a fire to put the leds inside.
Check that everything is working properly.
SESSION 7
Go to the classes of the younger children to reproduce the scene of our story. Also explain it in class for everyone and self-assess and co-assess the students through rubrics.
