My Project

Part of our 4th & 5th grade computer science curriculum this year incorporates the resources from the Micro:bit Educational Foundation's "Project Trix" and Codejoy's "Microbits in the Wild". Students take learning outdoors and explore environmental literacy through hands-on activities with micro:bits.

Do Your :Bit is a global micro:bit challenge for 8 - 18 year olds that test students' imagination and combines creativity and technology to come up with solutions for the issues being facing today.

Students will incorporate the micro:bit to come up with innovations that make the world a better place. Our students would like a micro:bit V2 to use at school and at home to participate in this challenge!
