Physical Computing for kids with micro:bits
Wednesday, July 31, 2024 - 3:30 PM UTC, for 1 hour.
Regular, 60 minute presentation
Room: G
Imagine wielding the power to make your code come alive in the real world! With micro:bits and their sensors, buttons, and LEDs, kids will embark on a thrilling journey where their code interacts with the physical universe. In this session we will discover how hardware and software work, and we’ll dig into some programming basics like loops, conditionals, and variables as we create interactive programs with micro:bits and MakeCode. This will be an amazing hands-on adventure where coding meets the real world, sparking creativity and unlocking endless possibilities!
