Love to Code: Volume 1 Microsoft MakeCode Edition Book Pages Only Refill
Uses the “Microsoft MakeCode" programming language (a block-based programming language) instead of text-based code.
The Love to Code Vol 1 Book refill is perfect for teachers and parents who want to get more mileage out of their Love to Code Creative Coding kit. Remove the old book and drop in a fresh set of pages, replenish your stickers and copper tape, and you're ready to go for another student or child! The refill is printed on durable 120g paper using the same high-quality, full-color offset process as the original, and shipped in a shrink-wrapped plastic bag. This refill contains the Microsoft MakeCode Edition of the Love to Code book.
Combining electricity, coding, and art, this all-in-one kit is a fantastic free-form introduction. The beating heart of the kit is the "Chibi Chip", a clip-on circuit board with multiple voltages, pin connections, and a microcontroller. This is the foundation of every project and is surprisingly easy-to-use. The companion book takes students through projects from "slap some copper tape and an LED on the page" to "program multiple circuit threads to create a parade of characters wearing unique light-up costumes". Coding is introduced early in the kit and allows students to program buttons, switches, and timers for their LEDs by getting code from the Chibitronics website. Finally, students are encouraged to get crafty by adding pop-up switches, flower-shaped wind sensors, or cat-pocket switches. Blunting the intimidation factor are step-by-step introductions to each concept, simplified illustrations, and a cast of fun characters (such as Fern the frog, Sami the seal, and D. Bug). In true Chibitronics fashion, the companion book is part of each project and becomes a sort of "electronics scrapbook" full of copper tape, LEDs, and lit-up drawings as you progress. The focus of the kit is on learning the core concepts, not making complicated projects, so students will have plenty of room to experiment "off the page" once they finish the book.
