Our Kids Code

🐾micro:bit Pets Showcase!

We recently ran two creative coding workshops with groups of migrant families in Cork, with support from Nasc, the Migrant & Refugee Rights Centre

Families came together to explore coding using micro:bit, creating their own interactive “pets” by following along with our guide. It was a mix of chaotic fun, creativity, and shared learning—and the results are amazing!

Here are some of the brilliant creations made by families learning and building together 💛
