Computing Club: Code A Satellite (Ages 12-14)

Calling Planet Earth! Join the space race as young coders create mini-satellites and discover how technology helps our world. Make and program a model satellite using a BBC micro:bit and MakeCode. Work out how to adjust and keep your satellite in position and on course, or harness the power of the sun. See how it sends data back to scientists on Earth, or how we receive mobile phone messages or use GPS for directions.

Suitable for ages 12-14 (and KS3 11+ year olds in secondary school-years 7-9)
