Micro:bits are an amazing learning tool and a great way to get students started with coding. This session provides two extremes: an intro and first-steps on getting started with Micro:bits and a demo of what's possible by mixing physical-world capabilities (sensors and relays) with an AI LLM.

At coding club, we have been exploring the micro:bits to see what they can do. We've made working dice, tamagotchis and even tried creating our own songs!

The game is a treasure hunt for a hidden radio transmitter, using a signal-strength meter. The only requirements are a browser and a few micro:bits. It includes a lesson plan and worksheet for in-depth exploration, plus a quick start to just play the game. www.benthamsgaze.org/2026/09/08/a...

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Interactive Jewelry class added RGB LEDs to micro:Bits, creating sound reactive, motion sensing, button pressing systems on the go.
I always evaluate a class by how many "It works!" moments. Today was 100% epiphany all around.😁

#TodaysMomentOfAwesome Interactive Jewelry class learns to program micro:Bits
A student made "digital sand" that shifts with a tilt. In 25 minutes.
Last year I got digital sand from @print-kits.bsky.social that took me 3 hours not counting 3D printing the case.

Here are the most recent modules in Smart Farming from @forwardedu.bsky.social that I have tried. I can't wait to get enough kits to share these learning experiences with my designers. I love how this connects my #micro:bits with #SDGs. I included a picture of me with some of the team at #FETC.

One weakness of Micro:bits I keep encountering is in the power packs. Just the weight of the batteries in normal use can pull the wires out of either end, interrupting my students' work. I am using hot glue to try to solve the problem. Do you have a good solution?
