Coding with BBC micro: bit

In Easy Steps launched a new title in the QuestKids(R) children's series in 2018, designed to make learning fun for children. The book, titled "Coding with BBC micro: bit," introduces readers to the hardware and software features of the micro: bit, including the built-in microphone, speaker, and touch sensor added in micro: bit version 2.

The book teaches readers new skills such as how to code their micro: bit to play music, send messages, display pictures, and detect light.

Getting Started: This section gives readers a tour of the micro: bit and gets them started with coding their first program.

Basics: Here, readers learn to display images and text on the micro: bit's LED grid.

Inputs: This section shows readers how to work with the input systems on the micro: bit, such as the buttons, accelerometer, and light sensor. Once readers have mastered these skills, the book guides them through 10 exciting projects, including a temperature sensor, simple interactive games, and even an alarm system!

Each project has been designed to work with both versions of the micro: bit. Readers will find "Try This" sections that suggest other ways for them to try out their new knowledge. These ideas will inspire readers to build their own projects with the micro: bit.

The book is a great resource for children who are interested in coding and technology. It is easy to read and understand, and the projects are fun and engaging. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to introduce their children to the world of coding and technology.
