Coding for Climate Action with the microbit.png

A new Key Stage 2 and 3 Computing-Science unit, "Coding for Climate Action," aligns with the TeachComputing curriculum. Seeking pilot schools, it encourages students to code micro:bits for early warning systems, addressing natural hazards and exploring climate change through project-based learning. The aim is to empower students to use technology and coding to tackle environmental challenges.

Defining the problem:
 

  • Identify similarities and differences between natural hazards

  • Examine the relationship between heat and evaporation


Analysing existing solutions:
 

  • Research functions and various existing technologies

​

Building an early warning system:
 

  • Identify input, output, and repetition in code

  • Utilize variables in code

​

Introducing sensors:

 

  • Identify different sensors on a micro:bit

  • Modify programs and complete code using count-controlled loops

 

Researching radio and pins:

 

  • Understand electrical circuits

  • Use selection in programs

  • Employ if/else statements with radio commands for data transfer

​

Earthquake early warning systems:

 

  • Use core programming constructs (input, output, variables, repetition, selection)

  • Write code and predict outcomes
