Connecting micro:bits to other hardware

Designing a physical computing project

Developing a physical computing project

In this unit, pupils will plan, develop, and evaluate a physical computing project. They will break down the project into smaller, easier-to-solve tasks. They will put these plans into action to create a working prototype that they use to evaluate their successes and identify future improvements.
