Coding Lab

Students will be introduced to the world of sensors and circuitry via the use of the Micro:Bit device and the accompanying Kit put together by Coding Lab.

They will start off by creating a fully functional circuit using the breadboard and the LEDs, incorporating the usage of the Micro:Bit's built-in sensors such as the Button Press, Light Level and Temperature.

Students will also witness first hand how using a variable resistor affects voltage - and how this can be applied to adjust sound volume or light brightness.

Finally, they will experiment with the Infrared Obstacle Sensor to detect for nearby obstacles - which can be applied in a multitude of ways, including protecting babies or our elderly from sharp corners around the home with a proximity alarm.
