BBC Micro:bit for Young Innovators

About Course

Learn coding, electronics, and creative design through hands-on projects using the BBC Micro:bit.

This course introduces learners (ages 10–21) to the world of programming, sensors, and physical computing using the BBC Micro:bit, a small, affordable microcontroller designed to make coding fun, visual, and interactive.
Through guided lessons, students will create exciting projects in electronics, robotics, and design thinking, using block-based (MakeCode) and text-based (Python) programming.

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

Understand the components and functions of the BBC Micro:bit.
Write and test programs using Microsoft MakeCode and Python.
Design real-world projects integrating sensors, LEDs, and inputs/outputs.
Apply design thinking to solve community-based challenges.
Build creativity, collaboration, and computational thinking skills.
