Teaching MicroPython with the BBC micro:bit at NCSS
The National Computer Science School is a 10-day residential summer school for Australian high school students that runs in January each year. It runs two streams - Python web development, and embedded electronics.
This year we updated the embedded stream to use the BBC micro:bit and MicroPython. It was a tremendous success, we learned a lot, and we're excited to share our experiences.
