BBC Micro:bit GO Complete Starter Pack
- A 5x5 LED matrix with 25 red LEDs to light up and can display animated patterns, scrolling text and alphanumeric characters
- On-board motion detector or 3-AXIS digital accelerometer that can detect movement e.g. shake, tilt or free-fall and use it to control motion activated games
- Two programmable buttons. Use them as a games controller, or control music on a smart phone
- A built-in compass, 3D magnetometer to sense which direction you're facing and your movement in degrees and detect the presence of certain metals and magnets
Online private coding session for 60 min
Learning Outcomes
Introduction to BBC Micro:bit
Coding on Microsoft MakeCode
Coding on Scratch
Micro:bit Name Badge Project
- The micro:bit’s LED display output can show words and numbers as well as pictures.
- This program shows you how to scroll text across the screen to let people know your name and show a picture.
Micro:bit Graphical Dice Project
- Use the accelerometer input to trigger the creation of a random number between 1 and 6 and show it on the LED display output when you shake the micro:bit.
- This program uses selection to show dots on the display to represent the numbers, looking like the dots on each face of real dice, depending on which random number was generated.
Scratch Paint Project with Micro:bit
- This program uses the micro:bit’s accelerometer to guide the pencil sprite around the screen, drawing a line as it moves.
- Tilting the micro:bit left or right makes the pen to move left or right in the X-axis, across the screen.
- Tilting the micro:bit forwards and backwards makes the pen move up and down, in the Y-axis.
- If you tilt it diagonally you get diagonal lines.
- You can control the thickness of the pen lines with micro:bit’s A and B input buttons.
- Shake it to use the micro:bit’s accelerometer input to raise and lower the pen, so you can move around without making a mark.
