Physical Tech from Go to WHOA!
This free online text introduces a series of activites and projects for the popular micro:bit as well as further material incorporating electronic components from the Boson range (or equivalent). In addition to a visual code edition, JavaScript and Python editions have been explicitly designed to be used from the ground up without leaning on visual code, as well as emphasising solid algorithm design by minimising the use of "trigger functions". The pedagogy Build > Tinker > Jump Off gives a structure to code development and helps differentiate for abilities in the classroom. The text also incorporates a section on Design Thinking as applied to physical tech projects. |
