On a day when a group of Year 5 students were visiting Bushey Meads School for an inspirational Technology Day, it was a real delight to visit the IT Faculty and see what exciting things were happening. Whilst the Year 5 students were engaging with a programming activity, our own students were having a great lesson writing code to control their BBC Micro:bits, which every Year 7 student received.

I was provided with a detailed explanation of how the students were using the specialist software and programming code to control messages to the Micro:bit and was given a great demonstration of what they could get the bit to do. The students were very excited that their new hardware could be programmed to play music and they are looking forward to creating their own computer games – very impressive!
