Serial Basics
Debugging
Project Planning
This resource is intended as the advanced level following the Beginner and Intermediate MakeCode Mega Bundles.

HARDWARE & ACCESS NOTE

Some lessons require specific hardware or school-approved access.

Examples may include:

Multiple micro:bits for network projects
micro:bit V2 for some data logging activities
Compatible Bluetooth devices
Servos
NeoPixels or addressable LEDs
Robotics or inventor kits
Approved MakeCode extensions
Not every lesson requires extra hardware, and many concepts can still be introduced using the MakeCode simulator and included printable activities.
