Course Details

Design and code techie gadgets, learn the basics of electric circuits, and use a variety of sensors with micro:bit and Microsoft. The micro:bit is a progression from the BBC Micro, a microchip that helped introduce society to computing back in the 1980s! Today, the micro:bit is used to build tech gadgets such as step counters, stopwatches, and radio transmitters. In the first course of this track, you will use the Microsoft MakeCode platform to control the micro:bit. You will start with using block-based coding and move to text-based programming with JavaScript. Also, you will learn how electronic components and sensors work and how they are used in real life.
