Micro:bit Projects for Classroom Use

Micro:bit Projects for Classroom Use

A micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that permits software and hardware work together. It is a tool that facilitates physical computing with its LED light display, buttons, sensors, sound sensing and playback capabilities, and many input/output features. WIth some additional craft supplies, some fantastic projects can be created. During this workshop, several micro:bit projects will be shown and described. These include a micro:bit book, lip-synching character with a micro:bit, a reaction game, micro:bit basketball, Plushpal, and a microPal. Directions and guidance will be provided for those who want to begin making one of these projects during the workshop.
