Barefoot - litter hunt, lesson 1
Lesson 1 of 2
MakeCode
7-11 yrs
In this lesson, pupils develop their understanding of the micro:bit by using the buttons and sensors on the device to make different images display. Pupils are introduced to the concept of a variable to store data, then create a program to alter the value of a variable using the buttons and sensors. Pupils go on to create a ‘push the button’ game, where they race against another player to see who can press the button the fastest.
Key learning:
- I can explain what the buttons and sensors on the micro:bit do
- I can program sensors and buttons using the MakeCode editor
- I can store data with variables using the MakeCode editor
