Day 3 of our stem workshops ✨

What a fun day! The kids learned how to use the Micro:bit to control LEDs and make music, and they even wrote their own code to understand how a robot brain works. The highlight was when the Micro:bit smiled and played a birthday tune β€” the kids were so excited and proud of what they created. The best moment was when the Micro:bit started smiling and singing a birthday tune β€” their faces lit up just like the LEDs. Pure joy.
