7-11 yrs
This series of five lessons is aimed at students aged 10-11 years. They are introduced to variables and develop their understanding of planning, coding and debugging through a mixture of unplugged and practical programming activities.
Students use variables to design and program the micro:bit to be star-jump and step counters. They then use random numbers and selection to code a times table test and an activity selector.
