Introduction

Getting started with the BBC micro:bit

About this unit Introduce students to physical computing with a BBC micro:bit. Control the LED matrix and find out how screens work, learn about inputs and outputs, turn your micro:bit into a scoring or game device while learning about variables, conditionals and iteration.
