Videos from micro:bit LIVE
Find out about the latest BBC micro:bit innovations by watching videos from micro:bit LIVE
micro:bit LIVE was an online event featuring 80 educators, researchers, and technical developers from 28 countries who spoke about their work with the BBC micro:bit in the last year.
The event kicked off with a presentation by Mitch Resnick and Shawna Young. Mitch Resnick’s research group developed the programming language Scratch, that makes it easier for children to learn coding by creating animations and video games. Shawna Young is the Executive Director of the Scratch Foundation.
