Physical Computing with Micro:bits
by Jessie McKinley
In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will be introduced to the fundamental concept of microprocessors, often referred to as the "brains" of electronic devices. Using Micro:bits, a versatile and beginner-friendly microcontroller, students will gain practical experience in simple programming and understand how these tiny but powerful components operate.

Building on the programming concepts explored in part 1, this lesson asks students to re-imagine the ‘spiral-out’ program to be a spiral-in program instead. Designed to be a stepping-stone activity to
