The Kitronik Lesson in a Box - Craft & Code for BBC micro:bit is an innovative educational tool designed to integrate coding with craft projects for learners aged 8 and above. This engaging kit allows students to explore the fundamentals of coding through creative projects using the BBC micro:bit and MakeCode, a user-friendly, block-based coding platform. The kit is crafted to be accessible for non-specialist teachers, providing all necessary components except for standard classroom craft materials.
This comprehensive educational package includes electronics and teaching resources that facilitate cross-curricular lessons with minimal preparation required from educators. Developed by teachers and tested by students, the kit is designed to be durable and reusable, offering a cost-effective solution for educational settings. The teaching materials align with various curriculum specifications and promote personal development by encouraging students to appreciate the value of STEM/STEAM activities across different subjects.
The resources are organized in a teacher-friendly manner, featuring lesson plans, presentations, and printable worksheets available in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and PDF formats. An included USB drive provides a 'Start Here' directory with lesson summaries, setup instructions, micro:bit usage guidance, and code examples, along with a UK/US Curriculum guide. Kitronik has also developed a custom extension for the Craft & Code board in the micro:bit MakeCode Block editor, which can be easily added to enhance the integration of creative crafts with programmable controls.
This hands-on learning tool not only improves crafting skills but also establishes a solid foundation in coding principles, making it an essential resource for young learners.
