Coding and engineering collide in this multifaceted course. Students start with the foundation of a computer—the hardware. Then they get binary (01101100 01101111 01101100) to learn how a computer executes coded instructions. Putting this knowledge together with object-oriented programming concepts in JavaScript, students will program the micro:bit, an interactive, pocket-sized computer that's theirs to take home. They'll use JavaScript to detect motion, send messages, and make games, while developing real-world hardware and coding skills.
In this course, your student will:
- Use the micro:bit to code games and apps
- Code in JavaScript and build simple logic circuits
- Understand how programs work and what code does
- Develop logical thinking skills.
Your student will take home:
- Project files
- The micro:bit
This course is perfect for students wanting a future in Coding.
