This fusion club uses a little device called BBC micro:bit – it was designed by the BBC for use in computer education in the UK. It has 25 red LED lights that can flash messages & two programmable buttons that can be used to control games or pause and skip songs on a playlist. It can be used for all sorts of cool creations, from robots to musical instruments – the possibilities are endless. It comes with multiple code editors – we will start off with Block based programming, then move quickly to JavaScript editor, and finally use Python, working on various interesting projects along the way!

$20 fee – 9 sessions
