Year 6 had a fantastic session exploring our new microcontrollers called First Maker boards. Microcontrollers are electronic boards which can control things like sensors, thermometers and motors. Year 6 loved finding out some of the different features of the boards and managed to make disco lights, graphs of how load we were and even a voice controlled Etch-A-Sketch! We will be using these boards over the next few weeks to build a wide-range of projects and we may ask for a few materials from home. Watch this space!!
