This session models how the BBC micro:bit can deepen conceptual understanding and support evidence‑based discussion in science. Participants engage in a hands‑on investigation of light absorption and transmission using the micro:bit light sensor, then explore additional classroom applications. Participants leave with ready‑to‑use resources and a pathway for continued learning.
Are you in a multiple subject classroom and need to integrate CS with another subject? Don't have time to dedicate to solely teaching CS? Then hopefully I can help you with this! Stop by and see how physical computing gets kids excited, is flexible and try a few different types of physical computing equipment! Also, you'll leave with resources to get you started with PBL(project based learning) and even get an idea of your own off the ground!
