Data logging can often feel like one of those topics that's more hassle than it’s worth. Traditional data loggers are expensive, fiddly, and often left gathering dust in cupboards. For many primary teachers, it’s a challenge to make data logging meaningful, practical, and affordable.

But there’s good news.

Many schools already have access to a powerful alternative that’s easy to use, pupil-friendly, and ideal for collecting real-world data: the Micro:bit.

To help teachers make the most of this underused gem, we’re running a free 30-minute online boost session:


Data Logging with Micro:bits – 30-Minute Boost

📅 Wednesday 11th June
🕓 4:00 – 4:30 PM
💻 Online via Google Meet
📩 Google Meet link: https://meet.google.com/hpf-iubp-qpw


In this short, hands-on session, we’ll show you how to:

  • Use Micro:bits for simple data logging

  • Collect data on temperature, light, and movement

  • Create graphs and visualisations to help pupils interpret data

  • Bring science and computing together in an engaging, cross-curricular way

This session is ideal for primary teachers, whether you're new to Micro:bits or looking for new ways to use them creatively in the classroom.

Why invest in expensive hardware when you can unlock the power of something you already have?

Join us and discover how easy, accessible, and exciting data logging can be—with just a Micro:bit and 30 minutes.
