Micro:bit Coding Course for Kids

Learn to teach coding with the BBC micro:bit, starting from zero. In 9 short, practical lessons you program your own micro:bit step by step: scrolling text, animations, buttons, a nightlight, radio messages, dice, games and a final project. Each lesson takes about 45–60 minutes and is mostly hands-on. You predict, try, fix bugs and check your results, and you learn the key ideas of computational thinking along the way. What's included: 9 teacher lessons with step-by-step activities, quizzes and challenges 9 original Student Guides (illustrated, ready to hand out), with all code examples, video tutorials and MakeCode links
