INTRODUCTION

Getting Started

With this book, you can code missions to help save the world using the BBC micro:bit, the Circuit Playground Express, and/or the Raspberry Pi. At the end of this Introduction, you will find a list of missions by device, difficulty, and whether you need extra equipment.

NOTE TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS

The Raspberry Pi is more suitable for older children or those with a lot of help from an adult, especially when setting it up. Many children will not have experienced Linux before, and the environment will not be familiar to them. The MakeCode platform for the BBC micro:bit and Circuit Playground Express is really easy to use. It is very similar to Scratch, which many children will have used before.
