Abstract

The micro-processor BBC Micro:bit is an Educational Robotics’ device, which is constantly gaining popularity in international and the Greek education of all levels. The applications of Micro:bit in education, and in particular in the teaching of Physics, are of particular interest - as the literature demonstrates. This Workshop, apart from familiarising those who will attend it with the simple operating and programming elements of the BBC Micro:bit, will also present the latter’s  applications in the laboratory education of Physics, for the Primary and Secondary Education.
