My Project

Students will explore the role of physical devices in computing. Using App Lab and BBC micro:bit, students develop programs that utilize the same hardware inputs and outputs that you see in the smart devices, looking at how a simple rough prototype can lead to a finished product. Then, students explore how physical devices can be used to react to the world around them using a “maker” mindset to create prototypes with everyday materials.

Micro:bits are a fun and simple way for students to get excited about coding.

With these kits students will be able to show off their creativity and problem solving skills. Students will be able to see how computer coding can be used to provide real-world experiences.

Not only will our students learn about coding, but they will also be reinforcing their skills they have learned from their math and science classes.
