In this course, you’ll gain a hands-on introduction to the micro:bit, exploring its core features and how it serves as the foundation for our Climate Action Kit projects.

More specifically, by the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Identify the key physical features of the micro:bit and explain their purposes
  • Explain how input and output devices work with the micro:bit to create functional systems
  • Use the MakeCode editor to write, test, and download basic programs onto the micro:bit
  • Apply foundational coding and problem-solving skills to create your first micro:bit-powered project

Get ready to unlock the potential of the micro:bit and start making a difference—one line of code at a time!

A close-up of a hands-on project involving a BBC micro:bit integrated into a hydroponic system built with the Climate Action Kit. The micro:bit is mounted onto the breakout board, and attached to a white structural frame. A black potted plant with green lettuce is connected to the system, suggesting an automated plant monitoring or irrigation setup. A person in the background is interacting with components, assembling or adjusting the system.
