Measuring para-athletic performance
This is one of a series of resources to support the use of the BBC micro:bit. This resource focusses on pupils designing and programming a BBC micro:bit to help wheelchair athletes monitor and record their sporting performance over time.
In this activity pupils will make use of the BBC micro:bit to design...
School pick-up
This is one of a series of resources to support the use of the BBC micro:bit.
In this activity pupils will design and create a complete programmable system that uses several BBC micro:bits to allow parents or guardians to safely access the school to collect their children. They will analyse a design brief...
Automatic Lighting
This longer-duration activity involves prototyping a low-power lighting system. It could be used in an off-timetable workshop or across a series of lessons.
Students are challenged to work through the whole design process, and to place a micro-controller (in this case a BBC micro:bit) at the centre of the...
Bag Alarm
This activity, suitable for a multi-lesson sequence or a single extended session, challenges students to design and prototype a simple motion-sensing alarm. The device is intended to prevent theft or the accidental picking-up of a bag.
Motion is sensed using the accelerometer built-in to the BBC micro:bit,...
