Description :

You've probably heard about the BBC Micro:bit ... but what's it all about?

 

Museum director, Jason Fitzpatrick, will lead a lively talk and demonstration of the micro:bit, covering where it came from, what it is, how it works, who it's for, why we need it, how to use it and anything else you'd like to ask! 

 

Every year 7 student will be given a micro:bit (or they may already have one!) and we will help you as parents inspire them with ideas and a little knowledge of what it is capable of. 

 

The talk is open to anyone intrigued by the micro:bit, not just parents! Jason spent all of summer 2015 touring the UK with the BBC promoting coding, and giving talks on the micro:bit, so there won't be many questions he can't answer for you.

 

The micro:bit will be used in schools as part of the computing curriculum but is being given directly to the students so they can take them home and continue experimenting, learning and having fun! So if you'd like to be able to help guide them on their journey, this talk will be a great place to start.

 

The talk is free (although museum entry charges apply). It begins at 2:00pm. You will have full access to the museum displays before and after the talk.

Tea, coffee and snacks will be available from our Pac Lunch Shop.

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
