Bringing physical computing into the classroom is a great way to integrate computer science. We'll show you a variety of ways you can use the Makey Makey and micro:bit physical computing tools to explore math, science, and physical education. Using the design thinking process, you'll prototype your own exercise machine with one or both of these tools. Along the way, you will learn about equitable computer science teaching strategies that will help ensure all students have a positive experience with computer science. No previous experience required!
