Morse Code and Optical Fiber
.
Students get hands-on with fiber optics and program the Microbit with MakeCode.
Using external LEDs, sensors and optical fibers, 2 microbits communicate with each other by exchanging encrypted messages.
Children learn to communicate with the other groups by encrypting and decrypting messages with Morse code.
