S.1 STEAM Micro:bit Hovercraft Competition
Date: 27th May, 2025
Time: 15:00-16:00
Venue: School Hall
Our school's S.1 STEAM lessons conducted a Micro:bit hovercraft programming class. Students integrated knowledge and skills from STEAM—specifically science (physics), technology, and engineering—through assembling the hovercraft, connecting circuits, writing programs, and operating and adjusting the craft to participate in various technical competitions.
Students were divided into groups of three to four to design and build hovercrafts during class. In the final lesson, they participated in a speed challenge and a rescue challenge. Students were able to refine the program parameters of the hovercraft for more precise control in completing tasks.
