Project-Based Learning with the Micro:bit
Join us for a fun, hands-on, transformative professional learning workshop focused on integrating the Micro:bit technology into project-based learning (PBL) activities!
What is a Micro:bit?
A micro:bit is computing made physical! designed to help people learn coding and electronics through creative projects. It features an LED display, programmable buttons, and various sensors like an accelerometer, compass, and microphone. These components can be programmed using online editors to create interactive projects, games, and other devices.
This workshop will:
- explore the UN Global Goals
- empower teachers to develop interdisciplinary, technology-driven educational experiences that connect classroom learning to global challenges.
Participants will:
- gain practical strategies for coding, curriculum development, and student engagement through hands-on training with the micro:bit and PBL.
During this workshop we will
- engage in hands-on exploration of Forward Education's Climate Action Kits explore how the Micro:bits can be integrated into your core curriculum
- expand our knowledge of the UN Global Goals, and extend students' learning
