Exploring Coding Concepts Using The BBC micro:bit – I
59

Description

Course Overview

This track provides access to all of the micro:bit tutorials provided by the microbit foundation. In these tutorials you will work with your child exploring the different facets of the BBC micro:bit and interacting with the real world using the sensors, LED’s, etc, on-board the BBC micro:bit. You will use the makecode block based coding platform to write your code. These tutorials will help you build upon the knowledge gained coding with Scratch.

This is a beginners micro:bit coding track. We would highly recommend that you complete the following tracks before you start off with this track.

  1. Introduction to coding concepts with Scratch I
  2. Introduction to coding concepts with Scratch II

Prerequisites –

  1. This tutorial makes extensive use of the BBC micro:bit.
  2. If you haven’t purchased a BBC micro:bit yet you might want to head over and pick one up now.
  3. We would recommend that you pick up the BBC micro:bit, BBC micro:bit breakout board and a breadboard.
  4. The BBC micro:bit breakout board and breadboard makes working with the BBC micro:bit a lot easier.
  5. We will be using the official online python editor to write code for all our tutorials.

About BBC micro:bit

The Micro Bit (also referred to as BBC Micro Bit, stylised as micro:bit) is an ARM-based embedded system designed by the BBC for use in computer education in the UK. The board is 4 cm × 5 cm and has an ARM Cortex-M0 processor, accelerometer and magnetometer sensors, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a display consisting of 25 LEDs, two programmable buttons, and can be powered by either USB or an external battery pack. The device inputs and outputs are through five ring connectors that are part of the 23-pin edge connector at the bottom of the board. The micro:bit can be programmed using the Microsoft Block code program editor which is similar to the block based language Scratch ideal for 7-12 year olds. The micro:bit can also be programmed using the Makecode editor in Javascript and Python which allows for older kids to learn the Javascript and Python programming language using the micro:bit.

You can read more about the BBC micro:bit at the microbit website. Also see Kitronik’s resources here – Parents Complete Guide To The BBC micro:bit.
