Thank you for the amazing response to my book over the past couple of months. Due to the popularity, I’m pleased to say I have now made it available in a lot more places beyond Amazon by adding a new distributor/printer (Ingram).

Some exciting news, I've published a book of micro:bit projects! 📘 Been working on this for a while, so pleased to say it is finally available on Amazon. I hope that it can help more children make the most of the micro:bit! So do share 😀.

Today I have made a @microbit.org into a remote control for another micro:bit. This is a great project with soo many possibilities for outputs once you know how to send signals between micro:bits. Full tutorial on YouTube.

I had a great few days in London at BETT last week. The biggest Ed Tech Conference in the world! Great to catch up with digital friends from across the country and make new connections too 💻. Lots of interesting things to see. I even did a little talk, on micro:bits of course!

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 19/01/2026

With Burn's Night coming up I have a new Scratch tutorial for a Scottish themed game. I've called it 'Catch the Haggis'. I have a full tutorial on YouTube.

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 15/01/2026

I'm off to the BETT Conference in London next week. For three days packed with the latest in Ed Tech. Look forward to catching up with digital friends from across the country. Do say hello if you're going to be there!

Today's @microbit.org project is a simple traffic light. Using some basic LEDs and crocodile clips attached to the pins on the micro:bit. I have coded a sequence which happens when you press Button A. youtu.be/ysS_OCXIZI8?...

That's me logging off for Christmas 🎅. Thanks for all the support and interest in my resources this year. I've had 60k downloads of resources on my website and 90k views on YouTube! Got some exciting things lined up for 2026 so look forward to sharing more. Have a great Christmas🎄

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 15/12/2025

Thought I'd share my @microbit.org Christmas Tree 🎄 again this year. I have used some cheap LEDs, crocodile clips and card to create this. The pins are then programed to flash the LEDs in a sequence You will find a full lesson for this here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit/christmas

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 08/12/2025

My @microbit.org Christmas Lessons have been popular the past couple of years🎄🎅. They are all standalone lessons so can be done in any combination and adaptable to any class aged 8 upwards. Complete with PPTs, Videos and Lesson Plans here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit/chr...

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 10/11/2025

I am delivering a live micro:bit lesson for @digilearnscot.bsky.social Computing Science Week Scotland. This Thursday 11am-12pm online, aimed at P5-7. If you teach this age in a Scottish school you can sign up below ⬇️. #MicrobitChampion

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 31/10/2025

Today I have a Halloween themed project 🎃👻 a @microbit.org ghost that moves between two micro:bits when you shake them. Based on one of my favourite projects the teleporting duck!

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 27/10/2025

If you are looking for something different to do for Halloween 🎃👻 this week I have made a tutorial to create a spooky track in GarageBand (on an iPad). I would say learners of P4 (Age 8) upwards would be able to create a track like this example.

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 09/10/2025

Today's @microbit.org project is a simple stopwatch. Press button A to start Button B to stop. Uses a make code extension font for the digits.

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 06/10/2025

Today I have a @microbit.org version of a very well known game - Rock Paper Scissors 🪨📃✂️. When you shake the micro:bit one of the symbols appears.

My @microbit.org project today is a noise meter..🔊. This displays a graph of noise level input from the microphone on the micro:bit. It then sounds an alarm if the noise gets too high.

Today's @microbit.org project is a countdown timer. On Button A pressed the micro:bit will countdown displaying digits in a special font using an extension.

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 29/09/2025

Today's @microbit.org project is a proximity beacon📡. You can hide one micro:bit and use another to find it. A nice graph appears on the recieving micro:bit. I've use this as a treasure hunt.

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 24/09/2025

As it is @mathsweek.scot I have put together a few ideas for using the @microbit.org in Maths. Including creating dice, counters, a times tables tester and using the data logging features. #MathsWeekScot mrmorrison.co.uk/2025/09/23/m...

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 23/09/2025

As it's @mathsweek.scot today's @microbit.org project is a times tables tester 😃. On button A it will randomly generate a times table question and on button B reveal the answer. Great to practice times tables in a different way. #MathsWeekScot

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 03/09/2025

Today's @microbit.org project is a night light 💡. It uses the light sensors on the micro:bit to measure light level and turn on the light when it gets dark.

020

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 01/09/2025

Today's project for my @microbit.org tutorial is a clap counter 👏. This uses the microphone to increase the number when it hears a loud sound 🔊.

010

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 27/08/2025

So today's @microbit.org project is what I call 'rotating screen' investigating the accelrometer the same component that phones and tablets use for screen rotation 🔃.

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 26/08/2025

Here's another simple @microbit.org project for the start of the school year - A dice 🎲. You very quickly have a working dice you can use for a maths lesson, board games or something else!

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 25/08/2025

A new school year is the perfect time to get started with the @microbit.org 😃. Here's my favourite starter project - creating animations 💻. I've created new video tutorials based on my popular micro:bit starter lessons, they will be appearing on Youtube 🎥. #microbitchampion

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 18/08/2025

With the start of the new school year a few people have asked me about planning digitally📒. I think OneNote is the best tool out there for planning and it's free with a microsoft account. I have some OneNote planner templates and video tutorials here: mrmorrison.co.uk/resources/digitalplanning

Mr Morrison @mrmorrison.co.uk · 16/04/2025

I've shared this before but it's that time of year again 🐣. You can create an engaging Easter egg hunt using the radio feature of the @microbit.org All you need is two (or more) micro:bits. The image in the video is a pdf with code and links, available here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit
