Some exciting news, I've published a book of micro:bit projects! π Been working on this for a while, so pleased to say it is finally available on Amazon. I hope that it can help more children make the most of the micro:bit! So do share π.
Today I have made a @microbit.org into a remote control for another micro:bit. This is a great project with soo many possibilities for outputs once you know how to send signals between micro:bits. Full tutorial on YouTube.
Likewise! Great to have so many Scottish digi people there π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ.
I had a great few days in London at BETT last week. The biggest Ed Tech Conference in the world! Great to catch up with digital friends from across the country and make new connections too π». Lots of interesting things to see. I even did a little talk, on micro:bits of course!
With Burn's Night coming up I have a new Scratch tutorial for a Scottish themed game. I've called it 'Catch the Haggis'. I have a full tutorial on YouTube.
I'm off to the BETT Conference in London next week. For three days packed with the latest in Ed Tech. Look forward to catching up with digital friends from across the country. Do say hello if you're going to be there!
Today's @microbit.org project is a simple traffic light. Using some basic LEDs and crocodile clips attached to the pins on the micro:bit. I have coded a sequence which happens when you press Button A. youtu.be/ysS_OCXIZI8?...
That's me logging off for Christmas π . Thanks for all the support and interest in my resources this year. I've had 60k downloads of resources on my website and 90k views on YouTube! Got some exciting things lined up for 2026 so look forward to sharing more. Have a great Christmasπ
Thought I'd share my @microbit.org Christmas Tree π again this year. I have used some cheap LEDs, crocodile clips and card to create this. The pins are then programed to flash the LEDs in a sequence
You will find a full lesson for this here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit/christmas
My @microbit.org Christmas Lessons have been popular the past couple of yearsππ . They are all standalone lessons so can be done in any combination and adaptable to any class aged 8 upwards. Complete with PPTs, Videos and Lesson Plans here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit/chr...
I had a great day at the @stacshq.bsky.social conference in Stirling on Saturday. Lots of interesting talks, workshops and discussion on all things Computing Science in Scotland.
I am delivering a live micro:bit lesson for @digilearnscot.bsky.social Computing Science Week Scotland. This Thursday 11am-12pm online, aimed at P5-7. If you teach this age in a Scottish school you can sign up below β¬οΈ. #MicrobitChampion
Today I have a Halloween themed project ππ» a @microbit.org ghost that moves between two micro:bits when you shake them. Based on one of my favourite projects the teleporting duck!
If you are looking for something different to do for Halloween ππ» this week I have made a tutorial to create a spooky track in GarageBand (on an iPad). I would say learners of P4 (Age 8) upwards would be able to create a track like this example.
Yeah it's called Whaleysans. Just does numbers though.
Today's @microbit.org project is a simple stopwatch. Press button A to start Button B to stop. Uses a make code extension font for the digits.
Today I have a @microbit.org version of a very well known game - Rock Paper Scissors πͺ¨πβοΈ. When you shake the micro:bit one of the symbols appears.
My @microbit.org project today is a noise meter..π. This displays a graph of noise level input from the microphone on the micro:bit. It then sounds an alarm if the noise gets too high.

Today's @microbit.org project is a countdown timer. On Button A pressed the micro:bit will countdown displaying digits in a special font using an extension.
