Code, Light, Play. Micro:Bits Basics

What happens when kids write the code that makes something blink, buzz, or move?

Young makers will learn to program BBC micro:bits using Python. No experience required!

Led by Demonshae Glover, a coding instructor with eight years teaching youth across the city, participants will program scrolling text and images onto an LED screen and leave with a working project, along with the confidence that they can code it themselves.

Creative Coding Detroit is excited to be partnering with Journi to make this workshop happen. We admire their track record of bringing code to Detroit youth in ways that are not just technical, but joyful and creative, too.
