Introduction to Coding using the micro:bit

For Kids 7-13


Kids today grow up in a radically different world to the one we are familiar with when we were kids. Today, they live in a connected world - their smartphones can access virtually every piece of human knowledge ever created, all in the blink of an eye.

Learning to code is no longer the privilege of computer scientists. Whether you wish to take up computing as a career or not, learning to code is increasingly important. Software is all around us - from booking a cab using your iPhone, to the product recommendations provided by Amazon; all these are possible because of software.

Research has shown that kids who learn to program early in life develop critical thinking skills that greatly help in problem solving.

Course Description

Kids learn best when they are motivated. The best way to keep kids focused and interested is to show them how things work. In this 1 day code camp, kids will be introduced to the micro:bit, a small embedded system designed to teach programming. Kids will learn the basics of programming through programming the micro:bit, and connect to various interesting sensors that allow them to measure temperature, detect motion, and more.
