Description :
The most comprehensive micro:bit and MakeCode book to date!Get
ready to ignite your creativity and explore the world of physical
computing with The Invent to Learn Guide to the micro:bit! This fullcolor
book teaches learners of all ages how to code and build
interactive gadgets using the popular BBC micro:bit microcontroller.
The Invent to Learn Guide to the micro:bit invites learners to create
dozens of simple-to-complex, open-ended, hands-on projects using

one or more micro:bits, upcycled junk, and craft supplies. Learn to
extend the power of the micro:bit by adding LEDs, sound, motors,
and sensors to your inventions.With clear instructions and step-bystep
explanations, The Invent to Learn Guide to the micro:bit is
perfect for beginners and experienced makers and coders alike. The
book features more than 30 projects with full-color step-by-step
building instructions and code, catering to a wide range of
interests.The Invent to Learn Guide to the micro:bit takes a
comprehensive approach to coding, craft, and creativity to teach
physical computing, engineering, computer science, and electronics
to young people ages 8-16.Millions of the BBC micro:bit, a
miraculous low-cost microcontroller development board, are in use
across the globe. This book teaches children to make and code
exciting interactive projects using the micro:bit as its &#8220brin
board&#8221#8211 expanding the range of what was previously
possible.The Microsoft MakeCode block-based programming
environment is used to bring interactive inventions to life. Powerful
computer science skills are developed via whimsical programming
projects that appeal to girls and boys. The code used in each project
is fully explained and young inventors are challenged to build upon
their emerging computational fluency in increasingly complex
projects.The book includes robust resources for expanding your
micro:bit adventures. Explore Python and Scratch, use expansion
boards, and learn to create online micro:bit lessons.Coding, craft,
and creativityEach project features both making and coding with at
least one micro:bitOpen-ended challenges encourage long-term use
and support project-based learning goalsMost projects use the
popular micro:bit V1, while many projects include adaptations for
the new V2 micro:bitProjects are open-ended, personal,
&ampcustomizableStudents learn computing principles by
programmingDebugging strategies teach valuable problem-solving
skillsComputational thinking is nurtured by thorough and
developmentally appropriate explanations of block-based
programsTeacher resourcesCreative teachers may use the book as a
source of inspiration for classroom projects or as the basis for a
semester-long course of study. Bring STEM/STEAM to life by making
and coding with the BBC micro:bit in classrooms, makerspaces,
libraries, or at home.How to stream lessons and track student
