Microbit Racers

Join us for an exciting workshop where your child can learn the basics of coding by creating a racing game using Microbit!

In this workshop, your child will learn how to use Microbit to create a simple racing game that involves navigating through obstacles to reach the finish line. They'll have the chance to learn about coding concepts such as loops, conditionals, and variables, and apply them to create a fun and interactive game.

By the end of the workshop, your child will have developed valuable coding skills that can be applied to a variety of different projects. They'll have a deeper understanding of computational thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning.

In addition to the technical skills, coding also promotes creativity, imagination, and innovation. Your child will have the opportunity to express themselves and their ideas in a unique and exciting way.

So come join us for a fun and educational workshop that's sure to spark your child's interest in coding! They'll leave feeling proud of what they've accomplished and with a newfound passion for the world of programming. No prior coding experience is necessary, so don't miss out on this opportunity to introduce your child to the world of coding!
