MicroCode is a new tile based programming language that makes it possible to program the micro:bit without the need for an extra computer or Internet connection. All the programming takes place on a handheld shield. Come along and try out this new way of coding! All equipment is provided. With no written words, on the tiles children as young as 6 can join in.
Get ready to dance to the beat of the microcontroller! In this session you'll learn the basics of live music production with MicroBlocks and you'll be creating your own beats in no time.
