Course Overview
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.

Zenitant is a fellow Microsoft Global Training Partner, with whom we are happy to partner to offer these courses to primary schools. Through our close collaboration, we have brought the annual 3d-tronics Micro-controller Challenge from 2018 to 2022. Please note that for the microcontroller course, schools will need to have their own micro:bit kits. Tinker Class is a distributor for micro:bit and accessories; please contact us at hello@tinkerclass.tech to place orders at a discounted education pricing. Training is provided under Zenitant Pte Ltd. — email us to find out more.
