Learn coding and electronics through 12 original and daring projects that hack wireless signals. The Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive, pocket-sized computer that will help you build and code your own hardware projects. Raspberry Pi Projects for Kids will show you how to harness the power of the Raspberry Pi to create 12 cool projects using simple code and common materials like a webcam, microphone, and LED lights. Step-by-step instructions and detailed diagrams guide you through each project. After a brief introduction to the Python programming language, you'll learn how to: • Create an LED night-light that turns itself on and off • Set up a Raspberry Pi camera to take selfies and videos • Set up a webcam to stream video to your cell phone • Manipulate environments in Minecraft • Hijack local radio waves to play your own songs and recordings • Configure Raspberry Pi to send texts to a cell phone • Track your family members' locations via wi-fi and Bluetooth • Create an MP3 player • Set up a camera to take motion-triggered photos of wildlife • Control the electronics in your home with your cell phone • Teach Raspberry Pi to read aloud posts from your Twitter feed • Play "Rock, Paper, Scissors" against Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi Projects for Kids will deliver hours of fun and endless inspiration!

First, Coding with micro:bitintroduces you to the hardware and software features of the BBC micro:bit,including the built-in microphone, speaker, and touch sensor added in micro:bitversion 2. You'll learn new skills such as how to code your micro:bit to playmusic, send messages, display pictures, and detect light. <ul> <li>Getting started: Thissection gives you a tour of the micro:bit and gets you started with coding yourfirst program.</li> <li>Basics: Here, you'lllearn to display images and text on the micro:bit's LED grid.</li> <li>Inputs:: This sectionshows you how to work with the input systems on the micro:bit, like thebuttons, the accelerometer, and the light sensor.</li> <li style="list-style: none"> </li> </ul> Once you've mastered these skills, the book guidesyou through 10 exciting projects, including a temperature sensor, simpleinteractive games, and even an alarm system! <ul> <li>The 99 game:This first project is a game of chance that involves throwing the micro:bitamong a group of people. You'll learn more about coding, like using variablesand control flow techniques.</li> <li>Heads or tails:In this project, you'll use the LED grid and accelerometer to create a "cointoss" generator that detects when you flip your micro:bit, and displays headsor tails.</li> <li>Steady hand game:This game challenges you to hold your micro:bit in your hand as long as you canwithout wobbling. You'll also learn more about the micro:bit's abilities andother fundamental coding techniques.</li> <li>Temperature display:Here, you'll use the micro:bit's built-in temperature sensor to detect thetemperature and scroll it across the LED grid.</li> <li>LED control:In this project, you'll learn how to wire up an external LED and control itwith code. This exercise teaches you about using the micro:bit with othercomponents so you can build even bigger projects.</li> <li>Trespasser alarm:By connecting a speaker to your micro:bit, you'll create an alarm system thatdetects when someone has broken into your room and alerts you by playing atune.</li> <li>Fortune teller:This project ramps up the coding complexity, showing you how to program yourmicro:bit to tell your fortune just like a Magic 8-Ball!</li> <li>Compass: Here,you'll turn the micro:bit into a real working compass using its built-inmagnetometer.</li> <li>Radio communication:In this project you'll use two micro:bits to send and receive radio messages.</li> <li>Bag alarm:Using your radio skills from the previous project combined with theaccelerometer, you'll build a bag alarm with two micro:bits. The firstmicro:bit stays inside your bag and alerts a second micro:bit in your pocket ifsomeone tries to steal your bag.</li> </ul> Each project has been designed to work with bothversions of the micro:bit. You'll find "Try This" sections that suggest other ways for you to try out your new knowledge. These ideas will inspire you tobuild your own projects with the micro:bit. So whether you're a coding newbie, or you think you know it all, grab your micro:bit and let's get coding!
