Exploring First lessons with Python and the micro:bit

Help your learners transition from block-based to text-based coding with six familiar projects. First lessons with Python and the micro:bit is a pathway through six coding projects, complete with lesson plans and resources. It uses the same six projects featured in First lessons with MakeCode and the micro:bit, and each lesson compares the MakeCode blocks with the Python code for each project. We will show you where to find the materials and support you need to run this sequence of lessons confidently.

The micro:bit Python Editor has been designed to help overcome barriers to text-based coding in the classroom, making it easier to be creative by supporting debugging and discovery of working code snippets.
