Family Micro:bit Coding

Learn the basics of coding with the BBC micro:bit, a pocket-sized computer which introduces physical computing and coding using a block-like interface.

This family-friendly workshop is designed to encourage collaboration between young learners and adults as participants are guided through each step, from creating light patterns to attaching external components.

Young workshop participants will take home their own BBC micro:bit to continue their learning at home.
