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.

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.

Featured Teacher

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.

When I submit a assignment or ask a question, the teacher responds quickly.

He is very accommodating to students who are either slower or faster.

She’s really great at communicating with the parents and kids!

He makes it very clear what each step does, and frequently asks if we have any questions. He also makes sure that we all finished to move on.

there feels like more info and more to do in this unit, sometimes it's taking a little longer. teacher is checking and making sure we're caught up but it feels like there's more time pressure.

The teacher is great to explaining and give a lot of knowledge

She always tries her best to answer questions and when one kid is ahead of everyone else, she will give them more to do so that they don't have to wait for everyone else.

Our teacher teaches the subject very well and she respects any questions we have. Our teacher also waits for any one that may be having trouble keeping up and she helps them finish the task.

Mr. Patel is great in the zoom setting. I was originally worried about the virtual class but he really keys in to how the students are feeling and redirects them when necessary.
