For ages 8-11yrs. In this activity, we will be looking at a device called the micro:bit. For an introduction to the micro:bit, please watch this video (watch it up to the 13:21 mark for a quick introduction).

In this worksheet, we will start by creating your astronaut name badge (the program shown in the above video), and then move on to launching a rocket, which on the way sees a sky filled with twinkling stars.

We hope you enjoy these activities. Happy coding!
