DESCRIPTION: Design and code your own gadgets such as a step counter, sidekick pal, digital watch, magic 8 ball, and more with Microbit. Campes learn fundamentals in text based coding (python), sensors, inputs, and outputs of a micro controller. Coding concepts such as loops, logic, events, functions, variables, music programming, math, and more will be explored and applied in code. Campers will also get challenged to take their codes one step further by optimizing them and making them more efficient. This creative tech camp is a wonderful blend of coding, hardware design, and product design.
