Description

This unit is designed to develop pupils programming skills in a new engaging context: physical computing, using the BBC micro:bit. They will get acquainted with the host of components built into the micro:bit, and write simple programs that use these components to interact with the physical world.

Applying programming skills to a physical computing context deepens pupils’ understanding of how code influences the world around them. This approach develops essential problem-solving, logical thinking and creative skills, helping pupils to see programming as more than just on-screen activity. By connecting their code to real, tangible outcomes, pupils gain a clearer sense of technology’s impact and begin to appreciate its role in shaping everyday life in an increasingly digital society.
