This session will give you an introduction to programming using the micro:bit and explore how you could apply its use across the areas of learning and experience within the Curriculum for Wales.
This resource introduces learners to block‑based programming and the use of conditional statements to make decisions in computer programs. Learners can also explore the conductivity of materials through practical investigations using the micro:bit. It is suitable for Progression steps 2 and 3.
This micro:bit workshop introduces learners to block‑based programming and the use of conditional statements to make decisions in computer programs. Learners create their own mathematics game, supporting the development of numeracy, problem‑solving and computational thinking skills. Suitable for Progression steps 2 and 3.
This resource engages learners in a real-world data collection activity, helping them develop computational thinking, programming and data-handling skills. Learners use a micro:bit to design, test and refine a step or movement tracker, supported by a learner challenge sheet and teacher guidance linked to the Curriculum for Wales and the Digital Competence Framework. Suitable for Progression steps 2 and 3.
This challenge sheet supports learners at Progression Steps 2 and 3 to explore how machine learning can identify patterns and make predictions. Using micro:bit CreateAI, learners create, test and improve a simple machine learning model while developing computational thinking, problem-solving skills and an understanding of emerging digital technologies.
This challenge sheet supports learners at Progression steps 2 and 3 to investigate a real-world environmental question using micro:bit devices to collect and analyse data. Learners plan an enquiry, gather evidence and use their findings to draw conclusions while developing data and computational skills.
This workshop introduces learners to block‑based programming and the use of conditional statements to make decisions in their code. Using the micro:bit, they’ll create their own wireless communication methods, focusing on sending and receiving messages through Morse code. Suitable for learners at Progression steps 2 and 3.
Explore these quick coding projects for teachers and learners using BBC micro:bit. There are beginner, intermediate and advanced level projects searchable by computing topic, coding language and micro:bit feature. The activities include step-by-step instructions, introductory video clips, video guides and downloadable supporting documents. Suitable for learners at Progression steps 3 and 4.
Learners will gain hands‑on experience with block‑based programming, using conditional statements to make decisions in their programs. The workshop also explores how technology can support more eco‑friendly and sustainable ways for humans to co‑exist with other species. Suitable for Progression steps 2 and 3.
This resource introduces learners to block‑based programming through simple activities using conditional statements. It supports learners in creating digital tools that help them recognise, express and regulate their emotions, offering a creative and accessible way to communicate how they feel. Suitable for Progression step 2 and 3.
This resource introduces learners to block-based programming using the micro:bit. Learners explore conditional statements and iteration while creating their own musical compositions using the micro:bit’s built-in speaker or headphones. It supports early understanding of how programs make decisions and repeat actions. Suitable for Progression steps 2 and 3.
This resource for 9 to 14 year olds learners provides simple instructions to code a micro:bit to read the future, developing knowledge of selection code.
This resource for 9 to 13-year-olds provides learners with simple instructions for coding an interactive badge showing their mood using micro:bit.
This resource provides learners in Progression steps 2 and 3 with simple instructions for coding a reaction game using micro:bit. Learners will develop an awareness of simple programming concepts such as sequencing, repetition, variables and selection.
This resource provides learners aged 9 to 14 with simple instructions for coding a steady‑hand style game using a micro:bit. Learners create a game where players guide a wand along a course without making contact, developing coding and problem‑solving skills.
This resource guides learners through creating a fun compatibility‑checking program using the micro:bit. With clear, accessible steps and room for creativity, learners will build their confidence in coding while making something they’ll love to test out with friends. Suitable for learners at Progression steps 3 and 4.
