This beautifully-designed set of learning cards for scroll:bit covers setting up your scroll:bit and micro:bit, and learning the MicroPython programming language with a series of activities.
The activities fit into Key Stages 2 to 4 of the curriculum, and cover a range of areas and concepts in computer science, using the MicroPython programming language, as well as creative tasks. The aim is for these cards to encourage self-guided learning, and they're ideal for code clubs, or summer vacation projects for your children.
Ten learning cards guide you through how to set up your scroll:bit, using the built-in functions like scrolling text and icons, and using the scroll:bit with the micro:bit's sensors. They build in difficulty from easy to more difficult concepts.
The activities are supported by video guides on our YouTube channel.
The cards cover:
Installing software libraries using Mu
Function references
Scrolling text strings
while True loops
Taking sensor readings
Displaying sensor readings
Using grid coordinates
Creating and using variables
Using random number functions
Calibrating a compass
For loops
Creating and retrieving information from lists
Using accelerometer data
Note that you'll need a micro:bit and scroll:bit to use these cards. They are not included with this pack.
