START A BIT > Learning Packages > This page
This Learning Package is designed for beginners without much prior experience of programming, it's mainly for those who had participated in our LP2517: Special Onboarding Workshop, 25w17 earlier, and got good interest and motivation to learn more. The learning activities will be mostly online with Google Meet, we will see if there is one chance for us to get together for a tech-mingle. The learning in this period uses mainly a single Micro:bit board without external wiring or components, we will cover the most basic skills of programming in graphical blocks, take some interesting projects, while keeping in mind some important knowledge points to learn, we will have quiz at the end of the package, because we care, and really want the students to gain solid knowledge.
