Overview
The Micro:bit Gadget Camp combines coding with hands-on electronics as students build and program their very own pocket-sized tech device. Using the Micro:bit, a small but powerful computer with lights, buttons, and sensors, students learn to write code that makes their gadget interactive. The camp is designed to work for all levels—beginners can follow guided steps to make simple interactive devices, while more advanced students can experiment with sensors, animations, and more complex logic. By the end of the camp, students will leave with a personalized Micro:bit gadget they built and coded themselves.
