BBC Microbit Programming
BBC Micro:bit Programming
🎯 Course Overview
This course introduces learners to the Micro:bit, a small programmable device used to learn coding, electronics, and digital creativity.
Students progress from basic programming to building interactive gadgets, games, and inventions.
They will use MakeCode (block coding) and optionally MicroPython as they advance.
The course is hands-on, project-based, and fun.
👦 Target Age Group:
- 10–16 years
🕓 Course Duration:
- Total Duration: 35–45 hours
- Suggested Format: 10 Modules (3–5 hours each)
🧠 Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, learners will be able to:
- Understand how the Micro:bit works (inputs, outputs, sensors).
- Code using MakeCode blocks (and optional Python).
- Control LEDs, buttons, sensors, and outputs.
- Use variables, loops, conditionals, and functions.
- Build real interactive projects (games, alarms, counters).
- Connect external components (speakers, motors, wires).
- Solve problems creatively with hardware + code.
- Complete a final invention using Micro:bit.
