Appreciate computational thinking concepts via an approachable, engaging manner
Program a microcontroller to perform various tasks, control various outputs, and sense various inputs
Create meaningful technology-based prototypes to solve real-world problems
Develop interest in computing and electronics among students
Develop students’ coding abilities
In this programme, students will get started with the micro:bit, a programmable microcontroller that serves to introduce coding, electronics, and hands-on digital making to learners of all ages. The micro:bit can be easily programmed through a block-based coding language called MakeCode.
Students will explore computational thinking through the use of the micro:bit and various other external components designed to engage and enthrall students. With components that move (servo), light up (LED strip) and make noise (buzzer), students will wield the power to control the physical world in code.
Interesting projects have been chosen to capture students' attention and provide them with fun challenges to practice their programming skills. We believe the project-based nature of the course and hands-on focus of each lesson engages students to foster interest in programming for years to come.
In 2024, schools will be able to sign up for beginner- and intermediate-level courses, for a total of 2 × 16-hour programmes.
