Program Description

Intro to Micro:bit

Micro:bit is a computer that fits in your hand and can introduce you to how software and hardware work together. In this program, teens will have the opportunity to use codeblocks in Makecode Micro:bit to write the code for a simple game that can be played directly on the device. Participants will need to create an account on Makecode at makecode.microbit.org/

The program will take place in the Teaching Kitchen at Green Top Grocery. Laptops and Micro:bits will be provided.

During the registration window for this program, registration can be completed online below, by calling 309.590.6168, or by visiting the Adult Services Desk at the Library and registering in person.
