First up - Have you got one of these yet? | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
It's a microbit, and one million of you across the country | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
have being given one for free by the BBC. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Martin's been finding out more about these | :00:27. | :00:27. | |
You can programme them to do what ever you want. | :00:28. | :00:41. | |
You can put your name in it, a smiley face, what ever you want. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
These portable computers include built in compasses and technology | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
that connects you to the internet. You can connect it to other places | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
and even telephones, robots, tablets and more, to get them doing all | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
sorts of things. This is a microbits connected to a ping-pong bat and it | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
tells you how many keep ups you can do with the ping-pong ball. Every | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
time I take a step on that foot it adds another one onto it like I have | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
programmed it do. It is good. The microbit aims to be a fun and | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
practical way to inspire you to get active and develop your skills in | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
science, technology and engineering. Who knows? You could even lead the | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
way to a job in the future. Joining me now is Katie, who has | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
been doing something out of this world with a microbits. You have | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
actually sent it into space, which is amazing. What did you do? I | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
programmed this microbit to show an animation of a balloon, which this | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
is connected to, going up, popping, and then it shows the temperature, | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
is connected to, going up, popping, and it says the name of my school. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Amazing. This has been up to space and back down again and you have | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
recorded the temperature. That is fantastic. Let me show you the | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
camera, because this is what Katie designed, and it says what | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
temperature it is, so it is currently 17 degrees in here. What | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
is it here? In here are two raspberry pies which are selling | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
from two directions. One is filming out of here and it is from the | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
microbit and the other one is taking pictures. What did you see when you | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
got all the footage back? What did you see of space question right it | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
is amazing. You can see the sun in some of it. That sounds brilliant! | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Has this got you intrigued in and science? Yes, it has got me more | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
into coding, so I am coding a lot more. That is brilliant. What did | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
you find out? Is it hot or cold up there? Much, much colder. That is | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
amazing! Thank you so much for joining us. We will be hearing more | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
from Katie later. Now, if you liked that | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
you will love our latest We've set one year 7 class | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
a challenge to find out if technology is taking | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
over their lives. Let's go! We are going to spit this | :03:20. | :03:34. | |
class into three different groups. -- split. The first group is going | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
to be able to use technology whenever you want. The second group | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
will only be allowed to use technology for two hours a day over | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
the next three days. The final group won't be able to use any technology | :03:50. | :04:00. | |
whatsoever for the next three days. It says here that using technology | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
before bedtime can also affect your sleep. Mum! I can't join in. I miss | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
it a lot! I don't know what to do with myself, I am just so bored. I | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
haven't missed it as much as I thought it would. Maybe we should | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
take a step back from it and go outside. | :04:27. | :04:33. | |

We want to know if you think you're addicted to tech. | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
That's all for now, I'm back with more tech-extravaganza | :04:46. | :04:57. |
