Program LED Light Strips

Students program a micro:bit to drive an LED strip, from colours and effects to shooting stars that fire when they clap.

5th Class–6th Year

This is an "in school" event where we come to your school with microbits and LED light strips and take your students through a lesson where they create learn to program the LED light strips to display different colours, patterns and effects.

LED Light Strip

In this hands-on workshop, students will learn to code by programming microbit computers and LED light strips to display various colours and lighting effects.

With step-by-step guidance from our instructor, no prior coding experience is needed. By the end of the session, students will have created their own unique lighting displays.
