The Opportunity

Students Do More When They Own the Problem

Most coding lessons follow a script. Students complete a set of steps, get an expected result, and move on. But what happens when you hand them the reins?

• Live demos from youth creators at Ampere
• Real micro:bit projects built by students, presented by students
• Purpose-driven coding in action: real problems, real solutions

What You'll Learn

We use micro:bit to keep computing approachable, then connect it to real-world technologies and future careers.

The Co-Design Framework

Learn how to build programming with students, not just for them. Co-Design shifts the educator's role from instructor to facilitator, giving students real ownership over what they create.

Live Youth Showcase

Watch real micro:bit projects presented by the students who built them. These are not polished demos from a curriculum guide. They are original, student-driven projects that show what happens when creativity meets code.
