IoT + AI Hardware
Learn embedded programming with the pocket-sized computer that makes coding accessible and fun
Discover the technological charm at your fingertips! This course is centered around the globally popular microcomputer BBC Micro:bit, opening the creative door to artificial intelligence and Internet of Things for Hong Kong students. This compact board integrates various functions such as accelerometer, compass, temperature sensor, and programmable LED matrix, allowing students to quickly realize various creative ideas without complex wiring.
Micro:bit and the LED grid
Meet the Micro:bit and its built-in sensors, program the 5x5 LED grid to show numbers, letters and pictures, and learn how robots move.
Buttons and built-in sensors
Make interactive projects such as a shake-to-roll dice and a spirit level with the buttons, motion and light sensors, and learn about sensors, motors and mechanisms.
External sensors and smart cars
Connect external sensors and actuators so the Micro:bit becomes the brain of a moving robot, and use logic so the robot makes simple smart decisions.
Image and voice recognition
Learn how image and voice recognition work, connect external displays and devices, and use AI libraries so the Micro:bit can see and hear.
AI capstone project
Work like an engineer on a full project, such as a car that avoids obstacles and reads traffic signs, or a smart home model that opens the door by face recognition.
