It is our hope, that at the end of this half-day gathering, you will be better informed to bring emerging technology learning opportunities for your students. New to micro:bit? “The BBC micro:bit is an award-winning programmable device that allows students to get hands-on with coding and digital making,” (https://microbit.org/get-started/getting-started/introduction/). Micro:bit features include radio and Bluetooth antenna, processor and temperature sensors, compass, accelerometer, buttons, micro USB socket, LED display and light sensor, microphone and speaker. Imagine the possibilities! Take a look at the project ideas that teachers are using, https://makecode.microbit.org/projects/.
