First, Coding with BBC micro:bit introduces children to the hardware and software features of the micro:bit, including the built-in microphone, speaker, and touch sensor added in micro:bit version 2. They will learn new skills such as how to code a micro:bit to play music, send messages, display pictures, and detect light.
Once they have mastered these skills, the book guides them through 10 exciting projects.
The 10 projects are:
1. The 99 game
2. Heads or tails
3. Steady hand game
4. Temperature display
5. LED control
6. Trespasser alarm
7. Fortune teller
8. Compass
9. Radio communication
10. Bag alarm
“Try This” sections suggest other ways for children to try out their new knowledge to inspire them to build their own projects with the micro:bit. Each project has been designed to work with both versions of the micro:bit.
