Hands-on STEM activities for all!

Today we will be learning about everything the Micro:Bit platform has to offer! We will first be presenting the free platform and explaining what a Micro:bit is. Afterwards, we will be completing a guided activity based on the Ontario curriculum that shows you how to integrate a Micro:bit in your classroom! We will be providing a written step-by-step as well as training videos.

In this activity students will explore the water cycle by coding with a micro:bit.

The goal of this project is to have the participants learn how programming can create cool games like the charades game called Head’s Up! This is a simple remake of the famous Heads Up! game. The player holds the micro:bit on the forehead and has 30 seconds to guess words displayed on the screen. If the guess is correct, the player tilts the micro:bit forward; to pass, the player tilts it backwards.

The goal of this project is to learn about electrical circuits using Microbit and some metal wire to make a patience game about moving a hoop through a wire without touching the wire.

In this project, students will create and code their own guitar with the help of a microbit.

Project summary: Using microbits radio system along with properties of electricity to create a system which monitors soil moisture levels.
