It’s time to take coding off the screen and into the real world! In our next Code Club sessions, students will be writing functional code and uploading it directly to microcontrollers. Seeing your own code control lights, buzzers, and sensors is something truly special—and a big moment for any young coder.
We’ll be exploring how software and hardware work together through a range of fun, hands-on projects, including:
- Cookie jar protection – build a system that detects when the lid is opened and sounds a buzzer to catch snack thieves in the act
- Motion sensor challenges – create a motion detector and see if you can sneak past it without setting it off
- Button press games – put your reflexes (and your code) to the test to see who can press the button first
And that’s just the beginning. There will be plenty more ideas to experiment with, tweak, and improve as students learn how their code interacts with the physical world.
If you’re excited to see your ideas come to life, make sure to sign up to one of our courses
