Product description A box of colorful cards that teach coding through a series of fun projects that combine the Scratch programming language and the micro:bit hardware. Officially endorsed by the micro:bit Foundation. The micro:bit is a handheld, mini-computer that allows you to control and interact with coding projects built with the Scratch programming language. As kids work through this colorful 90-card deck they gain a deeper understanding of core programming concepts and see first-hand how the micro:bit can let them do more with Scratch. They learn how to to use Scratch to snap together programming blocks that will turn their micro:bit into a stopwatch, a fortune teller, a musical instrument, and even a voting machine! The Scratch Micro:bit Cards combines two landmark beginning programming tools: the wildly popular Scratch programming language and the micro:bit hardware. Kids learn how to use Scratch and the micro:bit to design interactive art and stories, create their own game controllers, and make wearable technology pieces.
