micro:bit Space Invaders 👾

In this worksheet, learners build a Space Invaders game on the micro:bit, a small programmable computer. The activity is designed to be completed alongside the micro:bit classroom tool, which provides a supportive environment for all students, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

Learning Objectives

Learners will apply fundamental programming concepts to create their game:
Sequence: Ordering instructions correctly to make the program run as intended.
Selection: Using 'if/else' statements to make decisions based on different conditionsIteration: Repeating actions using loops to control game events and movement.
