Join Micro:Bit coding for kids classes

Micro:Bit coding is the perfect fit if your child is interest in electronics. Or if they may want to build robots or rockets one day. This little device packs very powerful capabilities: LED lights, speakers, a temperature sensor, a microphone, and even an accelerometer. Coding is done in a simulator that works just like the physical Micro:Bit. You don’t need the physical device to take the class. But if you do decide to purchase one, all of your class code will work perfectly on the device without any changes.

Intro to Micro:Bit

In this 50 minute intro class, we introduce what a Micro:Bit is and explore different aspects of this amazing device: LED, sounds, and milliseconds. Your child will create an image using LED lights and learn computer concepts, such as loops, through a fun project. Sign up to enjoy this intro class today!

Part 1 - Lights & Beats with Micro:Bit 1

Learn how to control electronic components like LED lights, speakers, and sensors, while building fun games and interactive experiments. Review foundational coding concepts such as loops and conditional statements, and learn more about variables.

Part 2 - Lights & Beats with Micro:Bit 2

Build more fun games, while exploring advanced Micro:Bit features such as radio and buttons. Find out how to have two Micro:Bits message each other. Plus learn how to code functions, and even master some cool math and security concepts.

Adrienne Unertl

Adrienne Unertl has always enjoyed creating an imaginary world around him through LEGOs and storytelling. While attending a technology conference, he learned about Code.org and Scratch. he realized he could create digital worlds to control and explore. He immediately returned to Clark Elementary School in Evanston, Wyoming, and created an afterschool club designing and coding digital worlds. Coding is so personal and it’s so exciting for him to see what his students will create next. In 2017, he was awarded Wyoming’s Elementary STEM Educator of the Year because of all the different ways his students explore technology. He currently teaches coding, robotics, 3D printing, and Arduinos to elementary students. He wants to engage as many students as he can in STEM so that they will become the innovators of their world.
