Micro:bit & Physical Computing!!

Physical computing is the practice of building interactive systems that allow software to sense and respond to the physical world. Starting here helps to create a stronger link for students between their code and what it can be used to do with quick feedback loops and clear goals.

It uses microcontrollers to translate digital code into real-world actions, such as moving a motor or blinking an LED. Essentially, it’s about moving beyond the screen to create "smart" objects that can hear, feel, and move within their environment.

Built-in Inputs

Inputs and output already built-in to the Miro:bit will be the easiest to start with. No extra sensors to order or libraries to install. Just want a day or two of intro to coding? Stick to built-ins!
