Discover how easy it is to program your Micro:bit using simple block coding! 🧩💻
In this tutorial, we break down Block Coding in Microsoft MakeCode. If you are new to programming, this is the perfect place to start. Block coding is a method of giving instructions to the Micro:bit using puzzle-like blocks, so you do not need to write any text code. You simply drag and connect the blocks together to create your program.
Think of it like building with LEGO bricks, but instead of a castle, you are building a computer program.
🚀 In this video, we cover:
0:24 Introduction to Block Coding and the MakeCode toolbox.
0:50 Exploring the Block Categories (Basic, Input, Music, LED, and more).
1:26 Using the Basic Category: Learn about the 'on start' block and 'show string' command.
1:38 Using the Input Category: How to make your Micro:bit interact using buttons (e.g., 'on button A pressed').
These blocks help you do anything in a simple and easy way by snapping them into events to make things run.
