Build your own secret laboratory with 30 coding and electronic projects!
The BBC micro:bit is a tiny, cheap, yet surprisingly powerful computer that you can use to build cool things and experiment with code. The 30 simple projects and experiments in this book will show you how to use the micro:bit to build a secret science lab complete with robots, door alarms, lie detectors, and more–as you learn basic coding and electronics skills.
Here are just some of the projects you’ll build:
A “light guitar” you can play just by moving your fingersA working lie detectorA self-watering plant care systemA two-wheeled robotA talking robotic head with moving eyesA door alarm made with magnets
Learn to code like a Mad Scientist!
From the Publisher
Three Questions for Simon Monk, author of ‘Micro:bit for Mad Scientists’
Can absolute beginners understand the concepts covered in the book?
Yes, this book is for students with no prior knowledge of programming or electronics. The experiments are described in a scientific manner but the projects are all about creating simple projects using the micro:bit. Nothing requires soldering, making it perfect for a classroom setting.
What ideas do you hope readers take away from your book?
The basics of programming and solderless electronic project construction. Many of the experiments deal with sensors for light, sound, and gravity, offering an understanding of physical properties.
What is the value of the micro:bit?
The micro:bit is a low-cost educational board originally developed for teaching STEM. It can be programmed to make sounds, flash LEDs, take sensor measurements, and display messages on its small screen. A million micro:bits were given free to UK schools. Now, the nonprofit micro:bit Foundation is rolling it out to classrooms everywhere.
