Microcontrollers
Microcontrollers are tiny computers that bring projects to life. In our microcontroller sessions, children learn to program boards such as the BBC micro:bit, Arduino and Raspberry Pi to read sensors and control lights, motors and other devices. They see how code interacts with the physical world, building everything from simple reaction‑time games to smart gadgets that respond to their environment. Along the way they develop problem‑solving skills, logical thinking and confidence with real‑world electronics – the same foundations used by engineers and inventors in modern technology.
Arduino
Great for learning real‑world electronics: wire components, upload code, and build robust projects from sensors to robots.
