WeTeach_CS Summit 2026

In this hands-on session, educators will learn to wire and code three highly engaging physical computing projects using the BBC Micro:bit, Makey-Makey and a Bit Board. Make a Zap-It reaction game, an electronic Operation-style game, and an electronic blackout poem. Designed for students ready to move beyond basic micro:bit activities, these projects deepen student understanding of coding, circuits, and the engineering design process. Using accessible materials like conductive tape, aluminum wire, simple wiring, and legos, participants will see how physical computing fosters creativity, cross-curricular connections, and high-level thinking. Full lesson plans available for these successful projects used from 3rd grade GT to 9th grade Principles of Engineering.

If possible, please bring your laptop. We will be using deceives with a USB Type A cord.
