Description
Book Introduction
An easy and fun introduction to micro:bit that anyone can follow!
Create 14 projects yourself, including a fine dust meter and an SMS fire alarm!


Micro:bit is a hardware educational tool that makes learning coding easier. It can be used alone, but when used with various sensor components and expansion boards, it can be used to implement IoT systems that can be used in real life.
In particular, this book increases understanding of IoT systems by creating 14 projects, including a safety flowerpot that tells you when to water it, a weather board that tells you the amount of rainfall, and a fine dust measuring device that tells you the concentration of fine dust in your home, using various sensor components that can be connected to real life, such as soil moisture sensors, water level detection sensors, fine dust sensors, and ultrasonic sensors.
It is suitable for children who are learning coding for the first time, as well as adults who are interested in electronic crafts or making things, such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Into the book
This book helps you learn coding and IoT programming, which used to be difficult, easily using the micro:bit.
Micro:bit is programmed by assembling blocks in an editor called MakeCode, similar to Entry or Scratch, so even beginners to coding can easily get started.
In particular, this book helps you create various IoT projects that can be applied in everyday life, such as at home and school, by repeating the process of connecting various components, decorating the connected hardware, and coding the connected components to perform their functions, thereby helping you fully understand IoT systems.
Therefore, whether you're a student learning coding for the first time, an ordinary office worker who loves to create, a parent who wants to teach coding to their child in a fun way, or a teacher who needs to teach coding in an interesting way to a disobedient student, this book will help you get one step closer to the smart world.
---From the author's note

Publisher's Review
Anyone can create an IoT system easily and enjoyably!

1.
Preparation: Getting to Know the Micro:bit


Learn what a micro:bit is and how to use the micro:bit editor's screen layout and create a very simple program.

2.
Practice: Have fun practicing by creating a variety of projects.


Create IoT projects using a variety of components and easily available materials, such as water-saving devices, fans that turn on when the temperature rises, trash cans that open when you approach them, and remote switches that save electricity.

3.
Application: Increase project completion rate


We apply various projects to transform schools and cities where we spend a lot of time into 'smart schools' and 'smart cities'.
The experience of creating a project will help you understand the IoT systems that have deeply permeated our daily lives.

[A word from a beta tester who saw this book first]

It was structured around projects that could be used in everyday life, so children could learn in an interesting way.
- Kang Young-jin | Parent

This book takes your micro:bit projects to the next level by adding IoT programming to the micro:bit.

- Kim Jeong-hwa | Coding Instructor

It helps you understand IoT systems while working on a project using the IoT platform.
Above all, I think the biggest advantage is that you can create integrated results through making and coding.
