Description
Hello learners, Welcome to MAKERDEMY's "Introduction to BBC Micro:bit" course. If you are looking for that one course that will help you gain confidence to explore the Micro:bit, you have come to the right place.Through an innovative pedagogy of mixing projects and concepts, this course will help you learn the WHY, HOW and WHAT. To this end, this course is beyond a cook book. You will always know WHY you are doing something. For the more curious learners, we have ample resources to dive in to and continue your learning journey.In just two and half hours, you will learn ALL the peripherals of the Micro:Bit and will build several projects. Along the way, you will learn quite a bit of science related to the projects that you do. So, this course is structured as SCIENCE + Micro:Bit + PROJECTS + ASSIGNMENTS.With numerous custom made illustrations and animations, we have set the standard in terms of production quality. All so that you can have a terrific learning experience.This course is meant for anyone in the age group of 8 to 100+. This is basically for people who are mentally young and curious.If you are a teacher or a parent trying to introduce the BBC Micro:bit to your student or kid, you will find this course very useful as you will be able to answer all the questions your students or kid will ask. This is because we have tailored this course by giving equal importance to both the projects as well as the concepts.So come join me in this introductory course on the BBC Micro:bit. I am looking forward in being your instructor and hearing about all the wonderful projects you were able to make with the BBC Micro:bit
