Course details

More about this course
  • On this three-week course from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, you'll be introduced to the world of physical computing and how it can encourage learners to use their imaginations to solve problems and develop new ideas.
  • You'll learn how to support young children aged 5-11 years old as they work through physical computing projects, whilst also developing your own knowledge and skills.
  • On the course, you'll build projects involving connecting both inputs and outputs to a Crumble microcontroller or a BBC micro:bit.
  • You will use inputs to pass data into the microcontroller, process that data with block-based programming languages, and use outputs to move a robot buggy or provide information to a user.
  • The course will help you complete several physical computing projects to develop your skills and help you understand the experiences your young learners may have. You'll also reflect on how your projects use the programming principles of sequence, selection, and repetition.
  • On the course, you'll find advice from the experts at Raspberry Pi Foundation on how to make the concepts relevant to young learners.
  • The projects that you work on also model the use of "levels of abstraction", a way of splitting up computing projects to help focus on individual aspects, and lower cognitive load.
  • At the end of the course, you'll create your own physical computing project involving a buggy to help cement your knowledge and put what you have learned into practice.
