These resources will be removed by end of Summer Term 2025.

Switch to our new teaching resources now - designed by teachers and leading subject experts, and tested in classrooms.

These resources were created for remote use during the pandemic and are not designed for classroom teaching.

    In this lesson, we will will look at a Crumble microcontroller. We will connect it to a computer and program it to control an LED.
