Students have started coding at Glenaeon as part of their Digital Technology class. Year 7 and Year 8 have been using microbits with Teachers, George and Evan. The microbits are programmable devices which allows students to get hands-on with coding and digital making.

Students have coded devices which can help people as part of their “Something Helpful” project. Ideas included devices which help elderly people who live on their own to alert their neighbours if they fall, or if a certain temperature is reached in their house.

More recently students have coded a Bit Bot Car. George’s class participated in the Bit Bot World Championships (photos below). Students programmed a remote control and had great fun racing their Bit Bot Cars around the classroom!
