Learn more about programming with Strictly Come Dancing and the ����ý micro:bit

This Live Lesson introduces basic programming principles to secondary-aged pupils, helping to engage them in fun, challenging digital projects using the ����ý micro:bit.

With Strictly Come Dancing stars and guest experts in the field of digital art and wearable technology, the Live Lesson touches on aspects of the Key Stage 3/3rd Level computing curriculum including basic algorithms, loops, sequencing, variables and inputs and outputs.

The lesson aims to introduce students to these concepts in a simple, engaging manner, allowing them to get involved with creating their own digital art, designing their own wearables and remixing their own music using the micro:bit.

This edited programme, presented by Rachel Riley and Anton Du Beke was first streamed live to schools on March 2016. Please note that we are no longer reviewing emails and messages from schools for inclusion in the lesson.
