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 and create a programmable device that can measure and log the number of rotations a wheelchair wheel turns and the distance it has travelled. They will analyse a design brief and design criteria before taking one of two routes through the activity; either designing and producing the programming themselves or using a pre-written program that they can download straight onto their device or edit as they go through.
