scroll:bit MicroPython Learning Cards

This beautifully-designed set of learning cards for scroll:bit covers setting up your scroll:bit and micro:bit, and learning the MicroPython programming language with a series of activities.

The activities fit into Key Stages 2 to 4 of the curriculum, and cover a range of areas and concepts in computer science, using the MicroPython programming language, as well as creative tasks. The aim is for these cards to encourage self-guided learning, and they're ideal for code clubs, or summer holiday projects for your children.

Ten learning cards guide you through how to set up your scroll:bit, using the built-in functions like scrolling text and icons, and using the scroll:bit with the micro:bit's sensors. They build in difficulty from easy to more difficult concepts.

The activities are supported by video guides on our YouTube channel.

The cards cover:

• Installing software libraries using Mu
  
• Function references
  
• Scrolling text strings
  
• while True loops
  
• Taking sensor readings
  
• Displaying sensor readings
  
• Using grid coordinates
  
• Creating and using variables
  
• Using random number functions
  
• Calibrating a compass
  
• For loops
  
• Creating and retrieving information from lists
  
• Using accelerometer data
  

Note that you'll need a micro:bit and scroll:bit to use these cards. They are not included with this pack.
