A slightly unusual request but Hitchin Boys School is running a Microbit launch day for their year 7 students on 7th July. They would like to run a day of activities where the students have a proper introduction of the Microbit and also get hands on experience of using it.
The plan of the day is as follows:-
9:15 to 9:45 Presentation to whole year group introducing the microbit and setting the scene for the importance of programming.
9:45 to 10:35 Session 1
10:35 to 10:55 Break
10:55 to 11:45 Session 2
11:45 to 12:30 Workshop 1
12:30 to 13:30 Lunch
13:30 to 14:15 Workshop 2
14:15 to 15:00 Workshop 3
15:00 to 15:30 Project development
During Sessions 1 and 2 students will rotate to cover, How to develop a project, and The hardware and software of the Microbit. Workshops 1, 2 and 3 will involve downloading application code to the Microbit and building the different applications.
The school would really like an inspirational speaker for the 9:15 to 9:45 slot, and help in presenting the hardware and software environment, and also some help in the workshop sessions.
Please e-mail me at womensnetwork@theiet.org if you are familiar with the Micro:bit and are able to help.
I appreciate that this is fairly short notice but if you can help, the school would be most grateful.
Thank you,
Jo
