About this Learning Opportunity
Do you want to start coding with your students, but you’re not sure where to start? Are you curious where coding fits into our new curriculum? Here’s your chance to jump in!

With these engaging activities, we can program a Micro:bit OR the virtual Micro:bit emulator online to discover that coding is easier and more fun than you knew it could be. From coding lights and speakers to creating a rock, paper, scissors game or driving a robot, Micro:bits are guaranteed to make coding fun and easy. Darren will show you the progression that will easily transform your students from beginners to coding wizards!
