ABOUT MICRO:BIT

What is Micro:bit?
How does it help?

Micro:bit is a small, pocket-sized, programmable computer designed to teach coding and digital skills to students, particularly in primary and secondary education. It was created by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in the United Kingdom as part of their "Make It Digital" campaign to encourage computer science education in schools. The Micro:bit is a versatile and affordable tool that helps students learn about electronics, coding, and computational thinking.

Coding Skills

Students will develop foundational coding skills, including understanding coding concepts, using coding blocks, and creating programs to control the Micro:bit.

Students will explore their creative abilities by designing animations, games, and digital art using the Micro:bit. They'll gain confidence in their creative expression through coding.

Creativity

Problem-Solving

The lessons involve problem-solving tasks, helping students develop the ability to identify and fix errors in code and design solutions for various challenges.

Students will become more digitally literate, understanding how technology works and how to interact with it through programming.

Digital Literacy

STEM Concepts

Through the use of sensors and game development, students will learn science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts in an interactive and practical way.

Collaboration and teamwork are encouraged in some lessons, fostering interpersonal and communication skills.

Teamwork

Real-World Application

Students will see how coding and technology have practical applications, such as creating a nightlight or a step counter, which can help them connect their learning to the real world.

The lessons can spark an interest in technology and programming, potentially inspiring students to pursue further studies and careers in these fields.
