Big birthday code-along

Join us for our Big birthday code-along as the micro:bit turns 10 years old!

Together, we will code the Candle project and celebrate by singing happy birthday and blowing out the candle on the micro:bit LED display!

We will bring the party hats 🥳 and birthday vibes 🎊 while you need the following:

  • Students will need a laptop/tablet with access to the MakeCode editor at makecode.microbit.org (please check your students can access this in advance).
  • A screen to show the code-along event to everyone.
  • Optional - micro:bits. If you don’t have devices, you can use the online simulator to code the project, but ideally students will put their code onto a micro:bit so they can experience the candle on the display being blown out.
