micro:bit at British Science Week with Upton Noble School Pupils at Upton Noble School Church of England VC Primary School in Shepton Mallet kicked off British Science Week (BSW) 2018 on Friday 9th March with a fun ComputerXplorers Programming for Primaries workshop where they programmed micro:bit micro computers to play the iconic rock, paper scissors game. Guest of honour David Warburton, Member of Parliament for Somerton and Frome and a parliamentary private secretary to the Department of Education, spent the morning at the school where he watched on as Year 5 children learned to programme micro:bit micro computers to play their favourite childhood game. After the workshop Mr Warburton joined in the fun and took on some of the children at the game. Said David Warburton:, “It was wonderful to support the ComputerXplorers programme at Upton Noble Primary School. Computer technology evolves at a huge speed and is now part of so many areas of life, so it’s vital that we give children the opportunity to learn skills at an early age. Through their unique Programming for Primaries Workshop, ComputerXplorers have a really fun and innovative way for schools to introduce a range of creative computing techniques. I must say it was also very impressive to see how enthusiastically the children at Upton Noble Primary took part in the micro:bit programme.” The free two-hour workshop was delivered by director of ComputerXplorers Bristol and Bath John Fisher as part of British Science Week which aims to enhance children’s interest in science, technology, engineering and maths. He led the children step by step through the process of programming the leds on the micro:bit to light up in the shape of rock, paper or scissors at random each time the micro:bit was shaken (simulating the ‘one, two, three start of the game). Micro:bits were connected to each other through the device’s built- in radio. John Fisher believes micro:bit is an excellent tool for empowering primary school children to become ‘digital creators’. He explained: “We all consume digital media every day, but there is still a misconception that programming and coding is only for technology specialists. “The micro:bit workshop proved that this isn’t true. The children had a great time and Mr Warburton was very impressed by what he saw. The rock, paper and scissors game was a bit of fun but more importantly, this experience of programming sets them on a path to engage positively with technology throughout their education.” ComputerXplorers’ Programming for Primaries has been running for five years and this is the third time it has been held in conjunction with British Science Week. To date, more than 1,500 children and 100 teachers have benefitted from free workshops and CPD sessions offered as part of the initiative.

micro:bit na British Science Week (Britanski tjedan znanosti) sa školom Upton Noble Učenici osnovne škole Upton Noble School Church of England VC u Shepton Malletu započeli su u petak, 9. ožujka 2018. British Science Week (BSW) zabavnom ComputerXplorers radionicom programiranja za osnovnoškolce na kojoj su programirali mikroračunala micro:bit za igranje čuvene igre kamen, škare, papir. Počasni gost David Warburton, član parlamenta za Somerton i Frome i mlađi državni tajnik Odjela za obrazovanje, proveo je jutro u školi gdje je gledao kako su djeca četvrtih razreda (što odgovara Year 5 u U.K.-u) učila programirati mikroračunala micro:bit kako bi igrala svoju omiljenu igru iz djetinjstva. Nakon radionice gospodin Warburton se pridružio zabavi i igrao je protiv nekoliko djece. David Warburton je izjavio: “Bilo je predivno podržati program ComputerXplorers u osnovnoj školi Upton Noble. Računalna tehnologija se razvija velikom brzinom i sada je dio mnogih područja života, stoga je važno pružiti djeci priliku za učenjem vještina u ranoj dobi. Kroz njihovu jedinstvenu Radionicu programiranja za osnovnoškolce, ComputerXplorers na zaista zabavan i inovativan način uvodi u škole niz kreativnih računalnih tehnika. Moram reći da je također bilo vrlo impresivno vidjeti kako su djeca u osnovnoj školi Upton Noble oduševljeno sudjelovala u micro:bitovu programu.” Besplatnu je radionicu u trajanju od dva sata održao direktor ComputerXplorersa Bristola i Batha John Fisher kao dio Britanskog tjedna znanosti čiji je cilj povećati interes djece za znanošću, tehnologijom, inženjerstvom i matematikom. Vodio je djecu korak po korak kroz proces programiranja LED dioda na micro:bitu kako bi nasumično prikazale oblik kamena, papira i škara svaki put kada se micro:bit protrese (simulirajući 'jedan, dva, tri' i početak igre). Micro:bitovi su bili međusobno povezani preko radija ugrađenog u uređaj. John Fisher vjeruje da je micro:bit izvrstan alat za osnaživanje djece u osnovnim školama da postanu 'digitalni kreatori'. Objasnio je: “Svi svakodnevno konzumiramo digitalne medije, ali još uvijek postoji zabluda da je programiranje i kodiranje samo za tehnološke stručnjake.” “Radionica s micro:bitom dokazala je da to nije istina. Djeca su se sjajno zabavila, a gospodin Warburton je bio vrlo impresioniran onime što je vidio. Igra kamen, škare, papir bila je zabavna, ali još važnije, to iskustvo programiranja omogućilo im je da se pozitivno uključe u rad s tehnologijom tijekom svog obrazovanja.” ComputerXplorersovo Programiranje za osnovnoškolce postoji već pet godina, a ovo je treći put da se održalo u suradnji s Britanskim tjednom znanosti. Do sada je više od 1500 djece i 100 nastavnika imalo koristi od besplatnih radionica i sesija stručnih usavršavanja koje su ponuđene kao dio inicijative.
