Technocamps Professional Learning - Micro:Bits NW300 / S24
Summary
During this interactive session, teachers will explore the brand new Machine Learning tool allowing learners to program the micro:bit using a model they can train themselves. This tool will be demonstrated with activities covering a selection of the areas of Learning and Experience included in the Curriculum for Wales. Following this, practitioners will be led through the micro:bit’s data logging feature and how this can be used in a variety of ways to cover the data handling aspects found in the Curriculum for Wales and the Digital Competency Framework.
We ask that practitioners bring their own micro:bit devices and laptops to program them where possible. There have been issues with Chromebooks connecting to wi-fi networks outside of school in the past.
Note: The activities covered will require the V2 micro:bits that first launched in 2020. These are easily identifiable by the central speaker on the back of the device.
