Robotics with BBC Micro:bit
Course Info
In this course, students learn to program the Micro:bit as a part of a robotic system. Students interact with a pre-built Micro:bit robot and explore its various capabilities. They then learn about each of the component of the robot, their functions and how such components can perceive and perform in a given environment. This course is a follow up to the BBC Micro:bit basics for Kids course and uses the Microsoft Makecode drag and drop programming environment. Students will learn to install and use specialised blocks for robot interaction.
​
