CoALA - Code a Little Animal

In this teaching unit your students plan, construct and program their own pet simulator, that is controlled by a single-board computer like Calliope mini or BBC micro:bit and uses external sensors to imitate the needs of a pet.
The teaching unit is taken from the brochure Coding in STEM Education from the topic ‘Microcontrolling the world’. The complete brochure can be ordered free of charge via mail (bestellung@science-on-stage.de) or downloaded. The project was proudly supported by SAP.
