Global pre-recorded event: biodiversity counter code-along
Join us for our biodiversity code-along at a time that suits you on 22 May 2024!
Celebrate UN International Day of Biodiversity and get pupils using micro:bits to survey the biodiversity in their local environment.
We’ll show you how to:
create the code for a biodiversity counter
transfer it onto the micro:bits
use the micro:bit to log plant and animal species in your local environment
So get your micro:bits out and register for a fun 35 minute pre-recorded video that will go live on the 22 May to coincide with UN Day for Biodiversity.
Suitable for ages 8 and above.
Equipment needed:
Students will need a laptop/tablet with access to the MakeCode editor (please check your students can access this in advance).
A screen to show the code-along stream to everyone.
Optional - micro:bits. If you don’t have devices you can use the online simulator, but we aim to help you put the code on the micro:bits ready for pupils to go outside and log the biodiversity of their environment.
