Description
A micro:bit class set built around the body and the habits around it. Ten Smart Health Kits, ten micro:bit boards and Online Academy licences for thirty students — enough for a class to build touch-free taps, posture reminders and UV meters they can test on themselves.
What's included:
- 10 x micro:bit Smart Health Kits
- 1 x micro:bit Club pack (class set of 10) — 10 micro:bit V2 boards, 10 battery packs, 10 USB cables and 20 AAA batteries
- 30 x student licences to the Sammat Online Academy, covering 9 self-paced lessons
- 1 x teacher licence to the Sammat Online Academy
- Each kit contains a sensor:bit board, analog UV sensor, PIR motion sensor, MQ3 alcohol sensor brick, a servo and connecting leads, with ten sensor modules in total
What students practise:
- Using a sensor reading to give feedback to a person, not just to a machine
- Setting a sensible threshold and testing whether it actually works
- Block coding in Microsoft MakeCode, working in pairs
- Thinking about how technology nudges behaviour, and whether that's a good thing
Nine self-paced lessons in the Online Academy cover touch-free hand washing, UV detection, a step counter, a drinking reminder and a classroom noise monitor. The batteries are included too, so nothing needs buying before the first lesson.
