The most comprehensive micro: bit and MakeCode book to date!


Get ready to ignite your creativity and explore the world of physical computing with The Invent to Learn Guide to the micro: bit! This comprehensive full-color book teaches learners of all ages how to code and build interactive gadgets using the popular BBC micro: bit microcontroller. The Invent to Learn Guide to the micro: bit invites learners to create dozens of simple-to-complex, open-ended, hands-on projects using one or more micro: bits, upcycled junk, and craft supplies. Learn to extend the power of the micro: bit by adding LEDs, sound, motors, and sensors to your inventions.


With clear instructions and step-by-step explanations, The Invent to Learn Guide to the micro: bit is perfect for beginners and experienced makers and coders alike. The book features more than 30 projects with full-color step-by-step building instructions and code, catering to a wide range of interests.


The Invent to Learn Guide to the micro: bit takes a comprehensive approach to coding, craft, and creativity to teach physical computing, engineering, computer science, and electronics to young people ages 8-16.


Millions of the BBC micro: bit, a miraculous low-cost microcontroller development board, are in use across the globe. This book teaches children to make and code exciting interactive projects using the micro: bit as its "brain board"- expanding the range of what was previously possible.


The Microsoft MakeCode block-based programming environment is used to bring interactive inventions to life. Powerful computer science skills are developed by programming projects that appeal to girls and boys. The code used in each project is fully explained and young inventors are challenged to build upon their emerging computational fluency in increasingly complex projects.


The book features robust resources for expanding your micro: bit adventures. Explore Python and Scratch, using expansion boards, and how to create online micro: bit lessons.
