Scratch with the micro:bit

Join us for a couple of hours of fun using Scratch programming and the micro:bit
This 2-hour session is suitable for children aged 8 – 12 years old who wish to learn or improve their coding skills.

The children will be using the sensors that come with a computer and the micro:bit. They will create Scratch projects that can sense movement, sound touch and light.

The BBC micro:bit is a small programmable microcontroller that comes with several built-in sensors to detect and respond to the environment.

The session is suitable for beginners and those with knowledge of coding in Scratch.

Children learn to:

  • program a micro:bit
  • use the micro:bit sensors
  • use sensors that come with Scratch
  • program the micro:bit to control a Scratch character
  • apply computational thinking
  • problem solve and debug
  • collaborate with others
