Micro:Bit Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by aleciko
Cheat sheet for the BBC Micro:Bit
Intro to CS using MakeCode & Microbits Course Introduction This is an introduction to coding and computer science by way of making and design, using the revolutionary new micro:bit microcontroller board, and Microsoft’s easy and powerful MakeCode block-based coding environment. It is a project-based curriculum with a maker philosophy at its core; the idea is that by making physical objects, students create a context for learning the coding and computer science concepts.
A 14 week Introduction to Computer Science course.
This course is targeted to middle school grades 6-8 (ages 11-14 years). It is also written for teachers who may not have a Computer Science background, or who may be teaching an “Intro to Computer Science” course for the first time.
This course takes approximately 14 weeks to complete, spending about 1 week on each of the first 11 lessons, and 3 weeks for students to complete the final project at the end. Of course, teachers should feel free to customize the curriculum to meet individual school or district resources and timeframe.

Even taking into account the physical separation of second-factors I mentioned earlier, and the reliance on your smartphone, it’s still a win-win for most people, most of the time. That’s becuase most people don’t have unique, long, complex, random passwords for every account and use a password manager to, well, manage them. That said, if you do, then there’s no real rush to dump your password access route to be honest.
MakeCode is typically accessed at https://makecode.microbit.org/ where create, modify, and run your projects while you’re online. You can can use MakeCode when you’re offline too. Here are some ways you can work with MakeCode offline:
Offline app
The MakeCode editor is available as app which you can install on a computer with Windows or Mac OS. Once installed, the MakeCode Offline App lets you create, run, and download your projects to the micro:bit. It works the same as the Web application does in your browser but it’s a stand-alone application that will work when a connection to the internet is restricted or not available.
