The micro:bit is a pocket-sized programmable computer that has on-board sensors for motion detection (accelerometer and compass), temperature, and light. Micro:bits can be programmed by either a visual or general purpose programming language. The workshop will cater for both primary and secondary teachers in separate streams and will provide curriculum appropriate coding examples in each stream.

Workshop attendees will:

• be introduced to programming micro:bits and code a small project
• receive a micro:bit to keep and use to experiment with after the workshop
• receive links to classroom-ready micro:bit resources
