Kitronik Lesson in a Box™ Visual Computing Pack for micro:bit

Ages 10 years +

Designed by Teacher's and tested by Pupil's to save you time when teaching Visual Computing.

The Lesson in a Box Visual Computing pack for micro:bit (available separately) is a complete set of parts & teaching resources to enable successful cross-curricular lessons. The subject packs come with a detailed lesson plan, cross-referenced to: class slides, workbooks/worksheets, checklists etc., technician’s notes and where appropriate, AFL guidance with answers and plenaries.

• D and T - Your visual coding lessons are all about the design of lighting within cultures.
• Computing - Your visual coding lessons are all about seeing loops, learning about selection and conditions.
• Physics/Combined Science - Your visual coding lessons are all about seeing data.
• Geography - Your visual coding lessons are all about seeing earthquake data.
• Enrichments - Both enrichments are challenges designed for experimentation, one is a dance and light challenge and the other is a kaleidoscope build challenge. They can also be used for Open Day activities/displays.

In developing this box we wanted it to be affordable, useful and robust enough for teachers to use again and again. The resources also cover personal development by encouraging pupils to view traditional STEM activities as having value across their curriculum.

The teaching resources included in this pack are, we hope, set out in a 'teacher-friendly way', with sufficient detail to enable you to 'lift' them, photocopy them and run your lesson(s) with minimal fuss straight out of the box, and/or to edit and personalise the resources if you so wish.
