Want to make some cool creations like a robot, musical instruments or a games console? You can when you learn coding with a BBC microbit.
There’s a handy quick start guide to get you started.
Our Lower Secondary Computing course would link well to this activity.
With the Makecode Editor from Microsoft you can program your microbit to do all sorts of things.
With tutorials on a range of projects from making Smiley Buttons, Rock Paper Scissors, Coin Flipper and Reaction Times there’s something to interest everybody.
Projects come in a range of categories from Games, Radio Games, Fashion, Music, Toys, Science and Tools.
And when you’re ready to put your coding skills to the test use Python Editor to really up the stakes with your creations.
You can buy a microbit fairly cheaply online and find out how to program it by visiting the microbit website.
We’d love to see some of your coding creations! Whether it solves a problem or just provides entertainment, share them with us on Instagram – @WolseyHallOxford
