What do students learn?

This is an elective camp in the LCCL Curriculum focused on exploring the uses of the micro:bit microcontroller, from a lamp remote control to traffic lights and smart home appliance.

The micro:bit micro-controller and hardware

• Understand what a computing device does
• Learn what a micro-controller is
• Understand the hardware components on the micro:bit and their uses
• Work with the breakout board, breadboard, connection wires, LEDs, resistor, and other components in the beginners electronics kit.

Design thinking and making!

• Experiment, learn and invent contraptions observed in the real world.
• Apply design thinking process to ideate and invent own contraptions, be it an interactive sport, smart home appliance or remote communications device, or even a "magical" thing. Let imaginations run loose!

Coding concepts

• Sequencing
• Functions
• Loops
• Conditionals
• Variables
