Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Teaching Physical Computing to 5- to 11-year-olds
Raspberry Pi Foundation and National Centre for Computing Education
In this course, the learner developed knowledge of and practical skills in physical computing using a Crumble microcontroller & a micro:bit emulator. They planned projects for the learners they teach, using block-based programs to process inputs and create outputs such as moving a robotic buggy.
