Another great example of a quick sketch and (paper) prototype from one of our Cardboard Carnival Teams in #hawksmakerspace . Super simple prototype build. Doesn't have to be fancy, just show what it will look like. Love it!

Not using those egg crates? Why not? Let's get our Lego mini-figure to safety, avoiding the red flames. #ComputationalThinkung #CodingJourney #EYFS #KS1 #Education

micro:bit Easter Egg Hunt 🐣. You can create a really engaging Easter egg hunt using the radio feature of the micro:bit. All you need is two (or more) micro:bits and code for the proximity beacon. I've put together a pdf with instructions and code here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit

Has anyone tried the Genius Square game with their kids?
Looks like a great puzzle game

A good way to start an unplugged activity with the #microbit is handing out 10 microbits with different codes and a sheet with the codes. They have to read and to code pick the right code. A good idea from Chris Dorna microbit101.nl/unplugged-code… also an english link. #teachers

I am “over the moon” that students remembered these skills with BirdBrain Technologies to be able to automate their Automaton projects!

💡Have a go of making an indoor / outdoor thermometer🌡️, just like CBBC's So Awkward's, Martha, who is using her BBC micro:bit to test temperatures in the Antarctic ❄️

🖍️Looking for a fun simple project for kids who are new to the #microbit ? They can turn a few pieces of LEGO and a geekservo into a simple drawing machine that's easy to code with MakeCode for the micro:bit.

📢 Learn how to use the #microbit ’s accelerometer sensor in code🙌
Our #ProfessionalDevelopment course all about gesture & movement will show you how to make projects that respond when you shake the micro:bit / rotate it in different directions

Looking for a way to display numbers like 22, 55 and 73 on the #microbit screen without scrolling?

You can add the WhaleySans Font extension to your Microsoft MakeCode projects, an idea from David Whale (micro:bit wizard).

See it in action in this YT video of a CBBC escape room: youtu.be/4ZinH3tybVU

Sharing our pacman Micro:bit Educational Foundation game worksheet 😀 Tilt the micro:bit to help pacman collect the pacdots 🔴 Watch out for the ghost chasing pacman! 👻 We have found this is a great way to engage children 8-11 with the micro:bit accelerometer.

I've taught almost 1500 learners with the Micro:bit Educational Foundation 😮. Now I've finally made my resources available to all😃. I have 3 blocks of fully resourced lessons with Videos, PPTs, Lesson Plans and Code. They are a great place to start, find them here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit (1/2)
