Join this May for a micro:bit coding adventure, where we’ll explore science and nature through hands-on coding challenges.
Each week during term time, you’ll be able to watch a pre-recorded tutorial to learn new coding skills and then join a live session to experiment, share ideas and take on extra challenges. Whether you prefer to work at your own pace or dive straight into the live sessions, this club is designed for flexibility and fun.
What’s Included:
- Pre-recorded micro:bit coding sessions released each week during term time, building up into a library and yours to keep while you’re a member.
- Live sessions to code along, ask questions, share projects and get inspired by others. (Maximum of 10 families in each live session). Live interaction and collaboration is encouraged.
- Differentiated challenges so both beginners and experienced coders can succeed.
- Support whenever your child needs it via the parents / carers WhatsApp group.
- Personalised Certificate on completion of each block.
- Bonus holiday projects during the summer TBC.

What you need:
- A micro:bit starter kit - If you don't have a micro:bit yet, please check out the Story STEAM Academy shop for starter kits. https://www.storysteam.com/product/microbit-starter-kit/
- 2 screens - one to watch tutorials / join live sessions and a second screen to code on. Alternatively, you can code a micro:bit using a bluetooth enabled tablet or ipad. For this, you need to download the microbit app.
- For some projects, you'll need some extra components such as crocodile clip leads, servo motors or simply cardboard, foil and other household materials.
Terms and Conditions for Class Sign-Up
By booking a place on classes or clubs, you agree to the following:
1. No Cancellations or Refunds
All bookings are final. We do not offer refunds or transfers for cancellations or changes in personal circumstances. Missed sessions cannot be refunded or rescheduled.
2. Illness or Absence
If your child is unable to attend a live session due to illness or other commitments, we are unable to offer a refund, credit, or make-up class - however they can catch up using the pre-recorded sessions so they will not miss out.
3. Class Cancellations by Us
If we need to cancel a session (e.g. due to tutor illness or technical difficulties), we will offer an alternative date for live catch up sessions.
4. Cameras on at the start of every live session. This is to ensure that everyone is who they say they are for the safeguarding of all participants. Cameras maybe turned off after the initial 'hello' if they prefer, but we encourage live participation, interaction and collaboration in order to make the most of the sessions. The chat function will be enabled for questions to be asked and observations. Please get in touch with Hannah ahead of sessions if your child has any communication or other needs that she can support.
5. Behaviour and Participation
We expect all participants to behave respectfully. If a child’s behaviour disrupts the class, we reserve the right to remove them without refund.
