GRADE LEVEL
Designed for Grades 6–8.
Students should already have a basic understanding of MakeCode and micro:bit concepts such as:
- Events
- Variables
- Loops
- If/Else Logic
- Inputs and Outputs
- Basic Sensors
- Simple Games
- Simulator Use
This resource is intentionally positioned between the Beginner and future Advanced MakeCode bundles.

PLEASE NOTE

Some intermediate lessons use features that may require specific hardware or setup.
For example:
- Radio activities are best with multiple micro:bits.
- Some data logging features require micro:bit V2 hardware.
- Serial and sensor activities may require compatible devices or classroom setup.
Teachers can still introduce many concepts through the MakeCode simulator and the included printable activities.

This is an original TeacherSurvivalByB educational resource designed for use alongside Microsoft MakeCode and the BBC micro:bit.
