Should I take Digital Maker or Digital Making with micro:bit and IoT?

Take Digital Maker if you want to build physical things end to end. You'll program microcontrollers such as the M5Go to react to sound, touch, and light, send sensor data online, and design and 3D print your own parts. Take Digital Making with micro:bit and IoT if you only want the coding and IoT side, without 3D printing. Both are introductory, run over 1 to 2 days, and start with 5 sign-ups.

Course Overview

Digital Maker is an introductory course in how smart devices are built and made. Smart fridges, doorbells, Amazon Echo, and Google Home are all Internet of Things (IoT) devices: small computers that sense the world and share data online. You'll build simple versions of your own.

In this programme, you’ll start by learning the basics of coding and get hands-on with programmable microcontrollers such as the M5Go to craft practical prototypes that react to sound, touch, and light. Then, you'll have a chance to build your own physical devices with 3D printing.

It suits anyone starting a hardware project, building tech skills, or making things for fun. There's more detail on the Digital Maker course site.

Lesson Outcomes

In this introductory course to digital making, you'll dive into the core technologies that power smart devices like smart fridges, smart doorbells, Amazon Echo, and Google Home first using programmable microcontrollers.

For a complete learning journey, you'll also explore beginning techniques in 3D printing and digital fabrication, with an interactive experience designing, sourcing, and fabricating practical projects. This hands-on approach ensures you gain practical experience and a solid foundation in digital maker development.

By the end of the program, you will have learned to:

  • Understand what "digital making" is, and how it applies to modern prototyping and crafting

  • Appreciate the world of "Internet of Things" (loT) by sending sensor data online for practical applications

  • Learn and apply introductory coding concepts to program microcontrollers

  • Understand the fundamentals of 3D modelling for practical applications

  • Design and 3D print custom components

What people say about our courses

This was one of the most engaging and practical training sessions I've attended. The trainer explained concepts clearly, encouraged active participation, and shared real-world examples that made the learning immediately applicable.

Sessions have been great, they are flexible and allow for a lot of creativity. We always practise what we learn by building mini apps, which has helped the steep learning curve feel less steep.

Vibe-coding opens up the opportunity for us to create solutions for our personal pain points.

Great workshop session with lots of examples shared, and time set aside to try out the various tools
