A new title in the QuestKids® children's series that was launched by In Easy Steps in 2018, designed to make learning fun for children.

Coding with the micro:bit - Create Cool Programming Projects introduces you to the hardware and software features of the BBC micro:bit, including the built-in microphone, speaker, and touch sensor added in micro:bit version 2. You'll learn new skills such as how to code your micro:bit to play music, send messages, display pictures, and detect light.

Getting started: This section gives you a tour of the micro:bit and gets you started with coding your first program.
Basics: Here, you'll learn to display images and text on the micro:bit's LED grid.
Inputs: This section shows you how to work with the input systems on the micro:bit, like the buttons, the accelerometer, and the light sensor.

Once you've mastered these skills, the book guides you through 10 exciting projects, including a temperature sensor, simple interactive games, and even an alarm system!

Each project has been designed to work with both versions of the micro:bit.

You'll find "Try This" sections that suggest other ways for you to try out your new knowledge. These ideas will inspire you to build your own projects with the micro:bit.

So whether you're a coding newbie, or you think you know it all, grab your micro:bit and let's get coding!
