Year 9

Physical Computing Programming

In this lesson, we will learn about the micro:bit. We will also write and execute our first Python programs on the micro:bit using simple coding patterns. 


Hello physical world

In this lesson, we will explore micro:bit hardware components. We will also write and execute our first Python programs on the micro:bit.

Bare bones

In this lesson, we will experiment with examples of using the micro:bit's General-Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins to connect it to external hardware components, such as LEDs and speakers.

Making connections (Part 1)

In this lesson, we will experiment with examples of using the micro:bit's General-Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins to connect it to more external hardware components.

Making connections (Part 2)

In this lesson, we will develop a guess the number game that can be played on the micro:bit. The game will utilise gestures for input, and it will utilise sound and light for output.
