Code the Bit: Adventures with Micro:bit

Price: $60/Class

Day & Time: 1.5 Hour/Class, Weekend (Sign upon Request*)

Grade: 3rd – 5th Grade

Description:

Students will learn block-based programming using micro:bit. Through fun, guided activities, children learn how to control lights, create patterns, and bring their imagination to life, through coding.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Write block-based (Scratch like) programs to control real LED lights, music and animations
  • Use coding to trigger lights with buttons, sensors, and motion
  • Build confidence in hands-on hardware tinkering
  • Learn foundational concepts of computational thinking
  • Create interactive mini-projects to take home or showcase

Outline of Projects:

Create Your First Light Art – Learn to program custom LED patterns

Button-controlled Emojis – Learn to use if/else to change expressions

Motion-activated LED Flash – Learn to use accelerometer and sensors

Auto LED Brightness with Sensors – Learn to use the light sensors to code logic

Create Your Own Mini Animation – Learn how animation works using timing, sequence, and iteration
