Description
Idea-Expanding Exploration Watch - Programming with micro:bit - Sensor Experiments, Treasure Hunt Games, Communicating with Friends... How You Use It Is Up to You - Children's Science ** Future Creative
Enjoy play-based programming with this wristwatch-style tool using the “micro:bit”. The micro:bit is a small computer designed for programming education. Born in the UK in 2012, children worldwide are enjoying programming with this computer. Its biggest feature is its palm-sized form packed with functions like light, temperature, acceleration, and geomagnetic sensors, plus wireless communication. By creating programs that utilize these features, you can turn the micro:bit into a game, a thermometer, a compass, or a communication device, for example. The micro:bit can be programmed using “MakeCode for micro:bit,” accessible via any internet browser. This means you can start programming right away, as long as you have a standard internet connection.
MakeCode is a block-based programming environment similar to Scratch, a popular programming language among children.
Not only does experience with MakeCode transfer to using Scratch, but the micro:bit itself can also integrate with Scratch.
This book clearly explains all of the above using abundant photos and diagrams. It covers programming not only for experiments and observations but also for a wide range of applications like games and communication. Engaging with the programming introduced here will nurture children's creativity and imagination.
Furthermore, this book introduces the “Exploration Watch,” a wristwatch-style tool that can be enjoyed alongside the micro:bit.
Using the Exploration Watch allows you to put your created programs into practice outdoors, expanding the range of ways to enjoy it.
The Foreword includes a special message from the micro:bit Education Foundation, which is working to promote micro:bit.
We support children's programming with micro:bit.
It's perfect for preparing for programming education, which will fully begin in elementary schools starting in spring 2020. Children can try it on their own, of course, but it's also a book that parents and children can enjoy together.
※Seibundo Shinkosha offers the “KoKa micro:bit Exploration Watch Kit,” which includes a micro:bit and peripherals, allowing you to easily practice the book's content using this kit.
