Microcontrollers, Programming and Micro:bits Your child will be programming their very own microcomputer! The BBC Micro:bit is a tiny programmable computer, designed to make learning easy and fun that uses block-based coding to do many awesome things. Participants can program their microcomputer to do everything from blink to turn it into a musical instrument and make a game. This is great exposure to programming in a new and fun way. Join us as we light up LEDS in a pattern of our choice, send messages to our friends over a micro:bit radio, make gadgets like inch worms, door alarms, statistical counters, and more to truly understand the limitless opportunities of portable computing.
