  "content": "Hour of Micro:bit is a gentle introduction to physical computing using\nthe BBC Micro:bit, a pocket-sized programmable computer. In this short workshop,\nstudents write programs to control the Micro:bit’s LED display, buttons,\nsensors, and radio communication capabilities. The Micro:bit’s approachable\ninterface and immediate physical feedback make it perfect for beginners to\nunderstand how code controls hardware. This course serves as both a standalone\nintroduction to microcontrollers and as preparation for our more advanced\nrobotics courses. Students leave with a concrete understanding of how\nprogramming translates to real-world actions.",
