Discovering Coding with Micro:bit

This Micro:bit course helps children aged 10 and above learn coding and electronics and computational while building critical thinking, design thinking, and problem-solving skills that support their learning in Math, Science, and STEM subjects. 

Through fun, hands-on activities and simple projects, children learn how to think logically, break down problems, and find solutions—skills that help them learn more effectively and confidently in school. More than just coding, the course nurtures creativity, focus, and smart thinking that children can apply across their studies and daily life. 

TARGET PARTICIPANTS

• Primary & lower secondary students (Age 10+ and above) 

• Beginners with no prior coding experience 

• Students interested in STEM, robotics, and creative technology 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES 

By the end of the course, students will be able to: 

• Understand what Micro:bit is and how it works 

• Apply basic coding concepts such as sequence, loops, and conditions 

• Use inputs (buttons & sensors) and outputs (LEDs & sound) 

• Build simple interactive projects 

• Develop logical thinking and creativity through coding 

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS/ PRE-REQUISITES

• Must complete year 3 of Primary School 

• Advisable to have basic computer operations (we also provide Discovering Computer: Safe and Smart Navigation course) 

EXPECTED BENEFITS TO CHILDREN

• Builds problem-solving and critical thinking skills 

• Encourages creativity and innovation 

• Improves confidence in using technology 

• Introduces STEM concepts in a fun, engaging way 

• Prepares students for advanced coding, robotics, and IoT learning 

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• By the end of the course, students will be able to: 

• Understand basic coding concepts such as sequence, loops, and conditions using block-based programming. 

• Apply critical thinking skills to analyse problems, plan solutions, and improve their programs through testing and debugging. 

• Use design thinking processes to design, build, test, and refine simple digital and electronic projects. 

• Solve problems logically by breaking down tasks into smaller steps, supporting learning in Mathematics and Science. 

• Control Micro:bit features including LEDs, buttons, and basic sensors to create interactive programs. 

• Connect STEM concepts by understanding how coding, electronics, and real-world applications work together. 

• Demonstrate creativity and confidence by completing and presenting a simple working project. 

• Develop positive learning habits such as focus, persistence, teamwork, and independent thinking.
