New course: Inventing with MicroPython

Would you like to learn how to become an Inventor and make an awesome new machine?
Join our hands-on MicroPython course at Code Club where you’ll enter the world of electronics, coding and circuitry with the small but powerful Raspberry Pi PICO microcontroller, all kinds of sensors, lights, and motors.
MicroPython is similar to the programming language Python, but slimmed-down so it can operate microcontrollers and circuits.
Over 8 weeks, you will:

–Make traffic lights and flashy displays with LEDs
–Control servo motors like a real engineer
–Create a security alarm system, buzzer player, light meter and lie detector
–Experiment, design and make your own projects which could be used in games, robotics and tech

The free sessions are perfect for 10- to 16 -year-olds and will be run by Nick Rice between two-thirty and three-thirty on Saturdays from 25th April at Code Club, St Matthew’s Church, North Quay, Douglas.
There’ll be a break halfway through and classes are limited to six students so sign up as quickly as you can.
You’ll be given a kit to build with which you can buy at the end and say “I built that!”
