Using the microbit for primary to secondary transition
Using the micro:bit and Make Code environment, this transition project aims to support students moving from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3, facilitating a smooth progression between primary and secondary computing education. This unit ensures curriculum continuity by aligning teaching approaches and learning objectives between the two stages, whilst also familiarising students with the new school environment, teachers, and classmates. Additionally, it challenges students academically, which subsequently prepares them for the challenges of KS3, allowing them to adjust gradually and build confidence. More information on how to organise this project within your school setting can be found through the CPD course called 'Effective transition from KS2 to KS3 in computing’ (see unit guide for link and further details).
