Year 5 Microbit Pupil Code - iLearn2 | Primary Computing. Made Easy.

Microbit Activity Pack

What will you learn?

Learn about a Microbit and write programs for a Microbit that include inputs/outputs, variables and conditions.

1. What is a Microbit?

This video looks at how the Microbit works and all the different inputs and outputs on it. Also, can you spot the objects that have computers inside on the picture 30 seconds into the video or below?

2. Write a program for the Microbit (Light outputs and loops)
This activity demonstrates how to write a program for the Microbit using the online Code Editor and test it. You can create a flashing heartbeat that is on a loop.

3. Use Inputs
This activity demonstrate how the different inputs (buttons) on the Microbit can be used to control the Microbit’s outputs (lights).

4. The accelerometer and random variables (dice)
This video demonstrates how to use the microbit.org website for other projects, including the dice project, which uses the Microbit’s accelerometer and random variables to turn it into a dice.

Now try following the tutorial on the Microbit website to program a Rock Paper Scissors game using variables.
