Chris Lovell

Chris Lovell is a UK-based Computer Science teacher located near Oxford who specializes in physical computing and engages students through hands-on game development using platforms like the BBC micro:bit and Python. He uses game creation, such as rebuilding classic retro games like Space Invaders, as a primary method to teach programming concepts to learners of all ages and abilities. Through his repositories on platforms like GitHub (under @MrL832) and educational sites, Chris freely shares classroom-tested Python projects, step-by-step guides, and open-source game code for the micro:bit. In addition to teaching, he actively contributes to the UK's Computing at School (CAS) Physical Computing community by hosting webinars and workshops—such as "Engaging All Learners with Game Development on the micro:bit"—to help fellow educators implement practical coding strategies in their classrooms.
