Micro:bit Stem Workshop - Traffic Lights
Nowadays, everywhere you look are little computers that help us in our daily life. Ever wonder how smartphones or fitness trackers, traffic lights work under the hood? This workshop is great for peeking interest in STEM and teaching coding fundamentals, and we start with with drag-and-drop coding the micro:bit. The micro:bit is a small, fully programmable computer that fits in your hands. It has buttons, touch sensors, motion sensors and even a small screen! During the workshop, we will build some fun and exciting app of traffic light on the micro:bit exposing the participants to its capabilities, teaching them programming skills, and inspiring them to take coding further. The micro:bit is a great introduction to get a head start learning an increasingly important skillset.
Skills acquired:
• Learn about input and output devices.
• Learn how electronic devices work.
• Basic coding concepts like sequencing, events, loops, lists, variables, conditionals and so on.
