IT STEM STEM Day 8 3 hrs Computational Thinking Block Coding
This course introduces the fundamentals of circuit design and micro:bit programming through collaborative and competitive learning. Students will engage in group activities to construct the circuitry of a jigsaw stick, culminating in a challenge where the team that navigates the most complex route triumphs. Experience hands-on STEM application while fostering teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Learning objectives
- Understand the electronic principle of copper wire and micro:bit connection through coding
- With the support of coding through micro:bit, design a unique copper-wired route
- Use the copper ring to pass through others’ mazes, and the most challenging route to win!
