Students based on the BBC micro: bit made prototypes. Create and display the home of the future life in their minds, let students comprehensively use skills such as programming learning, inquiry spirit, and maker education. The competition stimulates students' scientific and technological learning, on the one hand, it can cultivate critical thinking skills, on the other hand, it can also Improve problem-solving, collaboration and expression skills. The students' designs are thoughtful and creative. Elementary school students can also respond to the spirit system of Makers and create a lot of bright works, which can solve life problems one by one.
