This series of five lessons is aimed at students aged 7-8 years and builds on the ‘Nature art’ unit. Students design sequenced algorithms for flashcards to help them learn a foreign language, developing their understanding of computational thinking. They then write programs to create digital flashcards using the micro:bit and test and evaluate their work.
