🇬🇧 micro:bit Coding Cards Kickstart

The micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that introduces you to how software and hardware work together. Together with the Strawbees Robotics board connect sensors, motors, and other electronic components to the micro:bit, enabling them to explore the world of robotics and automation. Try these coding card exercises, focused on inputs and outputs, and grasp the fundamentals of coding as they engage with real-world objects and interact with the physical environment.
