• Number of Lessons: 15 Modules
• Contact Hours: 15+
• Additional Resources: BOSON Coding Starter Kit tutorial-Programming project, Coding starter Kit Tutorial, Quick Start Guide, Non-Programming Project Cards, Programming Project Cards

Highlights:

This kit includes 15 well selected modules, by which, students can create 3 non-programming projects and 12 programming projects. They can directly use Boson’s logic modules to build up projects without coding, or program other modules to realize more intelligent and complicated ideas. Meanwhile, they can learn something about algorithms & programming.

Features

• 3 Logic modules, 12 other modules with functions of sound, human detecting
• Contents: Algorithm & Programming
• Help students transition from coding theory study to graphical programming practice

Curriculum or Lesson Topics:

Coding Start Kit Tutorial is a micro:bit-based programming course designed for kids in early primary school. It aims to introduce the basics of electronics and programming to students. The 13 coding-free BOSON modules used in the course allow students to transit from physical programming to real coding learning, laying the foundation of electronic basics for future study and enhancing their understanding of conditional statement and logic calculation. PBL teaching method is mainly used in the course. Students will learn by working together to build projects like automatic doors, speed adjustable fans, etc., by which to improve their problem-solving ability.
