I spent a lovely day yesterday at NGMPS messin’ around with micro:bits. The grade 4/5 students made good use of @4pip.bsky.social book “Invent to Learn with the micro:bit” @garystager.bsky.social @sylviamartinez.bsky.social and are captured by their teacher at www.instagram.com/reel/DKNVpj-...
Engage your Year 4 students with climate-focused computing! 🌎 Download our 6-lesson unit to introduce learners to micro:bit as a data logger all while pupils explore climate-related topics and develop key digital skills. Learn more at www.digitall.charity/codingforcli...
Designers were challenged with one last design challenge. Design an interactive mini golf hole that will engage and entertain participants to support SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being @forwardedu.bsky.social. #micro:bit icreateilearn.weebly.com/designing-6-...
More fun with @microbit.org and the Climate Action Kit. My grade 5s built a wind turbine and a monitor that waters a plant when moisture percentage falls below 30%. Excellent response from students.
💚 The BBC micro:bit is used by millions of young people worldwide to get hands-on with computer science and technology. 👉 Get to know the micro:bits features with our video guide (with audio) or hit the link to read more. microbit.org/get-started/... #microbit #coding #EduSky

Working on PvP tennis on the @microbit.org and having some success! 🍓🎾Shake to return the virtual ball. If you shake at the wrong moment you miss the ball and you lose the rally! Kids can adapt the animations and timings. Code here 👉 makecode.microbit.org/S31157-43726...
My #fourthgrade Ss & robotic art at our #artshow! It was a big hit! Ss chose artwork to recreate or reimagine. Using @microbit.org and @birdbraintech & @MSMakeCode they added lights, motors and sensors. The shark was a favorite! #STEMeducation #Coding #makerspace #electronics
Worked on coding sequential, repeating, and concurrent events with Grade 4s today using #micro:bits! They coded music to play while an animation flashed on the display. 🐶 🎵 @microbit.org #ocsbMath #ocsbCodes #ocsbSTEAM #ocsb

I am working on a new high school level lesson called Digital Wind Chimes. Here is a preview. I am thinking each student codes one chime then either in groups of 4 or the entire class puts them together. Since it takes 4 micro:bits minimum that seems like the way to go. @microbit.org #microbit
