Workshop
Budding astronauts can get digitally active through 4 exciting Space missions.
Digit<all> and Amazon Future Engineer are offering free in-person micro:bit workshops to schools in Fife.
Inspire your pupils through the lens of space and help them to be as fit as an astronaut by participating in these 2-3 hour Out of this World micro:bit coding workshops.
They'll be digitally active as they code their own fitness assistant, find extraterrestrial life and transmit messages to mission control and be super steady as they move move around an obstacle course to mimic a space station.
The sessions include video footage from young professionals at RAL Space and all the activities help your pupils to develop their computational thinking skills, extend their understanding of programming constructs and bespoke their solutions using the variety of inputs and outputs on the micro:bit.
