Micro:bit coding workshop
Riverside Primary School
Description
Our Micro:bit Coding Workshop is a hands-on learning experience designed to introduce children to the world of coding using micro:bits. In this workshop, participants will learn how to code and program micro:bits, small pocket-sized computers that can be used for a variety of cool projects.
The content of the workshop focuses on teaching participants the basics of coding, specifically tailored to the micro:bit platform. Participants will learn how to write simple programs using block-based coding languages then transfer their programs onto the micro:bits to see their creations come to life.
Throughout the workshop, we will provide a range of resources to help convey the content effectively. Each participant will be given their own micro:bit to work with during the session. We will use interactive activities and coding challenges to engage the participants and foster their understanding of coding concepts. The experienced instructor will be on hand to guide and assist them throughout the workshop.
The goals of our Micro:bit Coding Workshop are two-fold. Firstly, we aim to introduce children to the exciting world of coding and ignite their curiosity and passion for technology. By providing them with hands-on experience with micro:bits, we hope to demystify coding and empower participants to explore and create their own projects even after the workshop ends.
Secondly, the workshop also provides an opportunity for professional development for the school staff. We ordered micro:bits, which are due to arrive in 2024. This workshop allows teachers to become more familiar with coding and micro:bits, enabling them to incorporate coding education into their curriculum in a meaningful way.
Theworkshop is specifically designed for students in five classes, aged between 8 and 11 years old. We believe this age group is ideal for introducing coding concepts and nurturing their interest in technology.
What makes our Micro:bit Coding Workshop special for the target group is the combination of hands-on learning, personalised guidance, and the opportunity for school staff CPD. By using tangible hardware like micro:bits, participants are able to see immediate results from their coding efforts, fostering a sense of accomplishment and
