Coding Arrows with a BBC MicroBit. Visited my granddaughter recently and she showed me her BBC MicroBit. I have seen them on YouTube but this is the first one I have actually seen first hand. I don't intend to start a series of videos on these MicroBits as there are plenty of people doing that already but I did have a little go just to see what I could. I did this bit but we didn't load it into the Micro-Bit to demonstrate it.
