Edinburgh Remakery Micro:Bit Workshop (Edinburgh Remakery)

This project lets school leavers in Edinburgh to take part in a free, virtual two hour workshop. Each participant will get a BBC microbit and will be able to practice how to code, turning otherwise unwanted items into innovative products. The aim is to help introduce school leavers to opportunities in the thriving tech and sustainability sectors and how they could develop skills in both of these. 

We will confirm the dates for this workshop once we have had referals through for interested participants.

Through a series of engaging exercises with the Microbit, and using unwanted items from around their home, the participants will be introduced to the innovative ways that coding can help promote reuse. This will be discussed in the wider context of sustainability and tech jobs to encourage the school leavers to consider these thriving and exciting industries.

This workshop is for school leavers.

Materials Kits will be delivered to the participants prior to the event, please ensure all participants live in Edinburgh so they can get this.
