Great way to use micro:bits from @mrmorrison.co.uk 💡

What sort of projects did you code on micro:bits?

💚 So cool - love this!

Love a bit of Rick, paper, scissors!

Grade 5s coded Rock, Paper, Scissors simulators using #microbits and then their teacher organized a bracket tournament!

Oh no poor Beebee!!!!! Get well soon 🤒

Oh, no, Beebee is sick today. #microbit #education #animatronics #robotics YouTube video by Don Wells

Oh, no, Beebee is sick today. How many things can a simple animatronic robot show? Yes, no, sick, sad, what can you think of?

Love it! What will they step into next with micro:bits? CreateAI Activity tracker?

I spent a lovely day yesterday at NGMPS messin’ around with micro:bits. The grade 4/5 students made good use of @4pip.bsky.social book “Invent to Learn with the micro:bit” @garystager.bsky.social @sylviamartinez.bsky.social and are captured by their teacher at www.instagram.com/reel/DKNVpj-...

Engage your Year 4 students with climate-focused computing! 🌎

Download our 6-lesson unit to introduce learners to micro:bit as a data logger all while pupils explore climate-related topics and develop key digital skills.

Such a great challenge!

Designers were challenged with one last design challenge. Design an interactive mini golf hole that will engage and entertain participants to support SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being @forwardedu.bsky.social. #micro:bit icreateilearn.weebly.com/designing-6-...

💚 Great to see - hope that helps the plant survive longer!

More fun with @microbit.org and the Climate Action Kit. My grade 5s built a wind turbine and a monitor that waters a plant when moisture percentage falls below 30%. Excellent response from students.

So brilliant - what a great way to display work 💚

💚 Love to see micro:bit being used in other ways and subjects. How did it go @mrmorrison.co.uk ?

Working on PvP tennis on the @microbit.org and having some success! 🍓🎾Shake to return the virtual ball. If you shake at the wrong moment you miss the ball and you lose the rally! Kids can adapt the animations and timings. Code here 👉 makecode.microbit.org/S31157-43726...

Great way to use micro:bits in other areas of the curriculum and for physical computing! 💚

Those smiles and magic moments 💚

My #fourthgrade Ss & robotic art at our #artshow! It was a big hit! Ss chose artwork to recreate or reimagine. Using @microbit.org and @birdbraintech & @MSMakeCode they added lights, motors and sensors. The shark was a favorite! #STEMeducation #Coding #makerspace #electronics

Simple but fun way to develop coding skills 💚

Worked on coding sequential, repeating, and concurrent events with Grade 4s today using #micro:bits! They coded music to play while an animation flashed on the display. 🐶 🎵

This is such a great way to use the accelerometer on the micro:bit 💚

6th graders using @microbit.org to track acceleration of their bottle rockets 🚀 super engaging #stem project for the last week of school #edtech

For social media we would recommend creating a video / Reel. Something quick and easy to watch to give the idea with a link to a YouTube (or other media) for a more detailed tutorial.

Improving coding for those with additional needs Towards accessible block-based coding
