Exploring micro:bits
A set of instructions that tells a computer or device what to do?
What is Code?
A machine that can follow instructions and perform tasks
What is robot?
A measure of how hot or cold something is?
What is temperature?
The physical parts of a computer or electronic device, like circuits and chips.
What is Hardware?
A small electronic component that lights up when electricity passes through it
What is LED?
A small computer inside devices that controls how they work. Like a tiny brain for electronics.
What is Microcontroller?
A flying robot that can be controlled remotely or programmed to fly by itself
What is drone?
Information a robot gets from its sensors
What is input?
The actions a device takes after receiving input (e.g., pressing a button)
What is Process?
A small, codable computer used for creating fun projects and learning to code.
What is Micro:bit?
A way to test and see how your code will work on the computer before you try it on a real device
What is Simulation?
A device that detects things like temperature, light, or motion
What is Sensor?
The robot's thinking step, where it decides what to do.
What is Process?
A way of sending messages using a series of dots and dashes to represent letters.
A pattern of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines that forms a matrix; in this case the 5x5 grid of LEDs on the micro:bit
Grid
A small, easy-to-use microcontroller that helps you learn coding by creating fun games and projects
What is Micro:bit?
A set of rules that tells a robot how to make decisions.
What is logic?
A warning or message to let you know something important.
What is Alert?
A small device that makes a buzzing sound, often used in alarms or signals.
What is Buzzer?
A visual signal that shows the status of something, like a light that turns on to show a device is powered.
What is Indicator?
An online coding platform where you can create scripts using blocks or text to control devices like the micro:bit
What is MakeCode?
A tiny computer you can code to control lights, sensors, and more
What is a micro:bit?
What the robot does, such as move, make a sound, or show a message.
What is Output?
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics?
What is STE(a)M?
