Overview

Beginning micro-bit will show you how to build awesome electronics projects by learning code in MicroPython, a simplified version of the popular Python programming language, in conjunction with the micro-bit, a tiny electronics board developed specifically to help kids (10+) learn to code. You'll start with simple flashing animations and automatic text reminders, and go on to make a radio, quiz machine, weather station, secret code lock, and digital pet dino. The book focuses on using the mu text editor- a program designed to make coding the micro-bit as easy as possible. The simple, straightforward instructions, color illustrations, and easy-to-follow code examples make this accessible to kids and adults with no experience at all!
