BBC micro:bit, MicroPython and coding

The hybrid Python programming course, learn:bit Arcade, was designed with practical education in mind. The course combines programming with projects using the popular micro:bit board – a small computer designed by the BBC that supports various programming languages, including MicroPython. Simple yet challenging projects allow students to see the results of their work in the real world. Creativity development and digital literacy support with learn:bit Arcade can be achieved by creating their own projects, such as games, robots, and interactive devices – a significant advantage given the growing problem of attention span.

Digital learning and STEM integration

Digital education encompasses the use of information and communication technologies (IT, ICT) in teaching and learning. This broad term encompasses not only the teaching of digital tools but also the integration of technology into the everyday educational process. E-learning platforms, educational applications and games (gamification), interactive whiteboards, virtual laboratories, and other remote learning tools have become commonplace for adults. For students, digital education allows them to learn how technology works, not just see its fruits. STEM education, on the other hand, emphasizes interdisciplinarity, creativity, and innovation. STEM subjects are not taught in isolation, but in a way that connects them to real-world problems and challenges. These include environmental problems, engineering solutions, classical mathematical problems, and, of course, play.

Programming for Kids - MicroPython

MicroPython is a lightweight version of the Python programming language that works well with the BBC micro:bit and ESP32 controllers. The language allows for programming electronic devices in a way that's understandable and accessible to beginners, including children. The syntax remains simple, allowing you to focus on fundamental concepts without the need for complex grammar rules—some of which may appear later in the curriculum. This is precisely what the Learnetic educational kits available at Botland specialize in.
