The MakerBit allows easy connections from the BBC micro:bit to LEDs & touch sensors. Explore CS through making working models of everyday digital devices.
This is part of a @themakerbit#CS lesson on the engineering design process and the students have progressed to this in just 10 weeks. I can't wait to see the board games!
We are running an autonomous driving challenge in our family. Our @TheMakerBit smart car is using an ultrasonic sensor to detect drivable space and its #microbit compass to figure out if it is stuck. Perception, planning, and execution in only #42 lines of code. 🙈
Wow, the ability to now link to a particular slide means that a student diorama or science fair posterboard project can now link directly to specific content using @themakerbit Media Linker! Been waiting 5 years to be able to do this, and now it's possible!
Providing supplies for distance-learning students at @lcccsma, including the @themakerbit At-Home CS & STEM kits! This will be truly a first-ever program in hands-on physical computing and #computerscience.
Got my MakerBit At-Home Exploration Kit today! Looks super cool. Very excited for my 7th grader to get hands on with each project. @rogerwagner Do you recommend he do this on his own or with a partner? @TheMakerBit
Following on @lcccsma@CajonValleyUSD#CSforAll pilot of @themakerbit CS Discovery, @NYIT_TBLS#STEM program begins pilot of at-home distance learning with the new Pizza Box Invention Kit. 10 project kids & parents can build with one pizza box.
