Intelligence Artificielle - micro:bit

This intermediate workshop will connect an artificial intelligence model with the micro:bit to expand what the micro:bit can sense. Some experience with micro:bits is recommended. The artificial intelligence model will be provided by Teachable Machine, and then connected to the micro:bit using a "bridge" developed by SteamLabs. Watch the video below to see some cool examples of what you can do when AI and micro:bits are combined!

Completed Project:

Complete code for the micro:bit

What are we learning?

• How to use the micro:bit's sensors to trigger an action

• How artificial intelligence models can expand what computers can recognize

• How to control the micro:bit using AI

Tools

• Computer with bluetooth for micro:bit pairing

• Browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

• micro:bit website (MakeCode)

• Teachable machine model (or you can train your own using teachable machine)

• micro:bit to AI bridge website (created by SteamLabs)

• a micro:bit (the simulator will not work when we are using AI)

• Optional - micro:bit accessories

  • alligator clips

  • headphones/speakers

  • servo motors

  • etc!

🍎 Teacher's Corner

This workshop will demonstrate how to connect AI to the micro:bit using an AI model and micro:bit code. Once this works, your students can train their own models and create their own code to make all sorts of cool projects! It might be useful to review the Introductory micro:bit workshop.
