This event is for children (ages 7+). Children must be accompanied by an adult, though small family groups are also welcome. Bookings and tickets are essential for all, both participating children and supervising adults. Each child ticket includes a micro:bit pocket computer to take home.
Build, code and keep a cardboard crab using your very own BBC micro:bit. It won’t nip anyone and it’s an engineering stepping stone. The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer which introduces physical computing and coding using a block-like interface.
Intergenerational groups will learn the basics of coding and will be guided through each step, building the cardboard crab, coding its movement and testing their creation.
This 2-hour family-friendly workshop is designed to encourage conversations between young learners and adults that will establish a framework for learning to continue at home with your new micro:bit pocket computer.
