Description
Content:
Learn how to write code using MakeCode for micro:bit v2 and iPad.
Part 1: Students will start by coding the built in inputs and outputs (e.g. LED matrix, sounds, buttons, light sensors.)
Part 2: After this this they will work in pairs to code a mini robot car to drive on a floor mat by using distance and turn angles.
They will then code the robot to use the ultrasonic sensor, distance sensor and the line tracking probes
Goals:
The increase the engagement of students in STEM at Year 6
To provide opportunities for girls to participate equally
Target students:
Girls (although boys are also welcome to attend)
The event will be well suited to the target group as I will use existing students from our school to work with groups as good visible role models. The girls supporting will be from a variety of different year groups.
