Program Description

Event Details

Interested in learning robotics and computer programming? Then this class is for you! Participants will learn to program the Micro:bit microcontroller, a fun hand-held computer used to make robots! In addition to being small and portable, Micro:bits interact with each other, allowing students to write programs with friends during this fun, educational, and physically active class, led by The League of Amazing Programmers. Registration is required below.

NOTE: Please arrive on time. The class introduction is critical to understanding the material. Participants will need to sign into the website Microsoft MakeCode (https://makecode.microbit.org/), which requires a Gmail account and password. Parents, (1) please make sure your child knows how to log into the MakeCode website with a Gmail account OR (2) please log in for your child when they first arrive to class. Your child must be able to sign into https://makecode.microbit.org/ with a Gmail account at the beginning of class in order to participate.
