Workshop for getting started with Picaxe microcontrollers

The Mad Hatter's Programming Part for Teachers of Years 7 to 11

After the incredible success of last year’s Bright Sparks teacher workshops, we’ve taken your feedback on board and are running another course for 2019!

This workshop is specifically designed to help teachers get to grips with Picaxe microcontrollers and use it in classroom projects.

It’s a great opportunity to build your confidence, learn new tips and tricks for the classroom, as well as mix with your peers and get exposure to new project ideas.

 

Workshop goals

  • Develop your ability to confidently work with the Picaxe microcontroller.
