7-11 yrs
Four lessons designed for students aged 7-8 years as an introduction to computational thinking and the BBC micro:bit. They learn how to create nature abstractions by taking a nature walk, using art materials and then using the LEDs on micro:bit.
They'll develop an understanding of several key computational thinking concepts, including logical reasoning, abstraction, algorithms and evaluation.
Students then develop their programming and debugging skills and are introduced to working with outputs.
