eScout Hands on Science with Micro:bit (Block Coding) for Grades 4 - 6

Session 1
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, July 7 - July 16
11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. 
Virtual via Zoom*

Session 2
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, July 28 - August 6
11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. 
Virtual via Zoom*

*Participants will need a laptop or tablet. Headphones are optional.

In this program, we explore block coding programming to create engaging science experiments. Utilizing the built-in Micro:bit sensors, including accelerometer, light, gestures, and motion detection, students will construct practical projects. These projects include a step counter, a dice roller for board games, an animal tracker, a water bottle alert, a plant watering system, and many more exciting experiments. *Note: This class requires the purchase of a physical Micro:bit device (approximately $35), which can be used for future Micro:bit series classes.

In this program, we explore python (microPython) coding programming to create engaging science experiments. Utilizing the built in Micro:bit sensors, including accelerometer, light, gestures, and motion detection, students will construct practical projects. These projects include a step counter, a dice roller for board games, an animal tracker, a water bottle alert, a plant watering system, and many more exciting experiments. This hands-on program empowers students to enhance their problem-solving and coding skills while working on meaningful and engaging projects. *Note: This class requires the purchase of a physical Micro:bit device (approximately $35), which can be used for future Micro:bit series classes.
