Lesson 1: Meet the Micro:bit is an engaging introductory lesson for Key Stage 3, forming part of a wider Micro:bits unit of work by TeachBytes. It is designed to help students build a solid foundation in physical programming while giving teachers the confidence and support they need.
The lesson follows the structured “I do, we do, you do” teaching model, with clear explanations, guided practice, and independent coding tasks. Teacher videos demonstrate the coding step by step, making new concepts easy to follow and ideal for classroom delivery.
Students complete scaffolded coding tasks that support all learners, with built‑in opportunities to stretch and challenge those ready to go further. The resource promotes problem‑solving, logical thinking, and progression at an appropriate pace.
The lesson includes access to a dedicated TeachBytes webpage with interactive coding activities, allowing students to apply their learning directly and engage with the content in a practical, hands-on way.
This resource is especially suitable for non‑specialist teachers, offering a modern, engaging, and budget‑friendly approach to delivering high‑quality computing lessons.
