DESCRIPTION: Let us hear you clap your hands. Ever want to control something with claps? Join this workshop and learn how to clap and make an emoji appear. You'll code a microbit to react to your clap and show you a symbol you choose. Will it be an animation of hearts? or happy faces? up to you as you create the program to make your claps come alive. This workshop is a mix of beginner programming, creativity and storytelling. Materials: If you have microbit bring it! If you don't we'll code one online.
Recommended for ages 8-12
