It's time to look at micro:bits again with Rivermead Year 6. How best to do that?
Lesson 1
Let's start simply.
- A short PPT show on micro:bits
- How to connect them
- How you write and download code
- Some examples of things people have done with them
- Dish them out, get people connecting them
- A simple application or two
- Electronic Di(c)e
- Paper, Rock, Scissors
That should take up a lunchtime. Maybe get them to look at the examples, decide on one they want to pursue in subsequent weeks, note the requirements, and bring them the following week.
Lesson 2
Ideally, I'd have people participating in projects that would run for 2+ weeks. There are so many ideas, all visible on the micro:bit coding website.
