The core project idea is to create a code learning-program based on microbits and astronomical topics. Micro:bit is a pocket programmable device that allows children and young people to learn how to program in a simple, playful and creative way. Its integrated sensors, which include buttons, compass, accelerometer, temperature, brightness, Bluetooth connection, LED matrix, allow […]
