TheMakerBit

The MakerBit allows easy connections from the BBC micro:bit to LEDs & touch sensors. Explore CS through making working models of everyday digital devices.

Inspired by @ceciliahillway & @jrflorentine to make this video of @microbit_edu + @MSMakeCode projects that I did in collaboration with @CT6502, @philipp_henkel, @Dave_WD7K & @Seval_Karanfil plus a student project from 2020 that's too cool to leave out https://t.co/I0m7dR2V35

Shared about @microbit_edu and @TheMakerBit with @rogerwagner at #21CLHK in January, you can now access the video via @21cli if you want to learn more about #MicroBit and #MakerBit #MakerSpace https://t.co/DxO8M8sJq0

Thank you everyone who came to check out the students' digital board game projects. Special thanks to Roger Wagner who continues to support the computer science program at LCC! https://t.co/d0NigRQpgh

This is part of a @themakerbit #CS lesson on the engineering design process and the students have progressed to this in just 10 weeks. I can't wait to see the board games!

[Karanfil @Seval_Karanfil]

Here are some great Makerbit projects students designed on their own. Great job wildcats! @CajonValleyUSD @TheMakerBit @rogerwagner @lcccsma #makerbit #microbit #cs4all

[Karanfil @Seval_Karanfil]

This week's presenters are Oliver & Riley. They used photocell to turn on lights at night and back off in the morning. Another real life project! #makerbit #makecode @lcccsma @TheMakerBit @MarkLantsberger #cs4all

[TheMakerBit @TheMakerBit]

Thanks for sharing this - great explanation of how it works!

[Stephen Hesketh 🪐 @sdhesketh]

Students are using @TheMakerBit and @microbit_edu for #PYPx at #LUAC to highlight the #GlobalGoals #edtechchat

@sdhesketh @microbit_edu @TheMakerBit Here's a platform that Henry Forsyth @wardenclyffe1917 is developing for @themakerbit. It's lasercut acrylic, but could also be 3D printed.

[Stephen Hesketh 🪐 @sdhesketh]

Added some IR sensors to the smartcar, following the line nicely after lowering the speed from 80 to 40! @rogerwagner @microbit_edu @TheMakerBit #makerspaces #microbit

[Philipp Henkel @philipp_henkel]

We are running an autonomous driving challenge in our family. Our @TheMakerBit smart car is using an ultrasonic sensor to detect drivable space and its #microbit compass to figure out if it is stuck. Perception, planning, and execution in only #42 lines of code. 🙈

Are you serious? There are prize drawings too? ONLY $12??? AND I can attend from my couch? OMG! I'm in! https://t.co/4sHOB10HZY #SatMorningCUEtoons #kerncue @Team_BCSD @KHSD_Official @KcsosP @KcsosStrong @KCSOS @PBVUSD @cueinc @cvcue @CentralCalifCUE @rogerwagner

[rogerwagner @rogerwagner]

Sign up for the @kerncue TechFest! I'll be sharing my experience with hands-on STEM @lccms both in-class and at-home distance style. https://t.co/mqoraGs1Zl

@Geetesh @tonyramos @powerpoint @Microsoft365 Wow, the ability to now link to a particular slide means that a student diorama or science fair posterboard project can now link directly to specific content using @themakerbit Media Linker! Been waiting 5 years to be able to do this, and now it's possible!

[Philipp Henkel @philipp_henkel]

We are preparing a #meetandcode remote workshop with @TheMakerBit, @MSMakeCode, and plenty of room for creativity.

[rogerwagner @rogerwagner]

Providing supplies for distance-learning students at @lcccsma, including the @themakerbit At-Home CS & STEM kits! This will be truly a first-ever program in hands-on physical computing and #computerscience.

[Chris Walsh @fitzwalsh]

Got my MakerBit At-Home Exploration Kit today! Looks super cool. Very excited for my 7th grader to get hands on with each project. @rogerwagner Do you recommend he do this on his own or with a partner? @TheMakerBit

[Juli Ross-Kleinmann EdD @JBR_Kleinmann]

@ISTESTEM @YouTube Playing now @rogerwagner

[Juli Ross-Kleinmann EdD @JBR_Kleinmann]

What’s cooler than receiving training from an expert? @rogerwagner with @ajkleinmann @ISTESTEM

[rogerwagner @rogerwagner]

Following on @lcccsma @CajonValleyUSD #CSforAll pilot of @themakerbit CS Discovery, @NYIT_TBLS #STEM program begins pilot of at-home distance learning with the new Pizza Box Invention Kit. 10 project kids & parents can build with one pizza box.
