Innovation Lab (Grades 7-8) - AM only

Welcome to the world of micro:bit! This little board can do it all, from driving motors and sensing the world around it to executing and interacting with the programs you can make using MakeCode, or Java and Python for those who want to take it a step farther. In class, we will learn the basics of how to write simple programs with easy and forgivable drag-and-drop programming – no experience required! We’ll then take those skills and use our building chops to take our inventions from the computer screen into the real world. Make your own invention that solves problems for you and your community. Want a machine that waters your plants for you? A fidget that changes as you use it? A device that tells you the temperature outside? These and many more inventions are possible starting with the micro:bit – come learn with us!
