The All-In-One climate action kit, powered by micro:bit, reshapes K-12 coding and robotics education providing an engaging platform for students to explore computer science while addressing climate change challenges. Consisting of hardware, software and a meticulously designed curriculum, the kit aims to foster STEM education under the guidance of educators. Microsoft’s makecode serves as the software backbone, offering a web-based interface for coding with blocks or text in Python or JavaScript. The curriculum, aligned with educational standards such as NGSS, common core, and CSTA, introduces climate change issues and their technological solutions, guiding students through the process of coding and building their own prototypes. The micro:bit serves as the powerhouse behind this educational initiative, facilitating hands-on learning experiences.
Students can embark on diverse projects using the Climate action kit, ranging from a windmill for renewable energy to a recycling sorter for waste management. Forward education, the driving force behind the kit, provides tailored classroom solutions for schools and districts looking to scale their STEM and coding programs. Professional development, technical support, and curriculum customization are part of their offerings, ensuring adaptability to diverse educator and learner needs.
The Climate action kit is designed to be beginner-friendly, engaging, and purposeful for students and teachers alike. It supports a continuum of learning across multiple subjects and grade levels, from primary to high school. It also connects to real United Nations’ sustainable development goals, inspiring students to be tomorrow’s changemakers.
