Mr Bit Projects
Mr Bit projects are set in a variety of everyday scenarios which provide interesting contexts for designing and building simple control systems. Each project poses design challenges involving analysing a brief, selecting suitable controls, linking them to sensors and devices, and creating programs.
There are two types of project:
Control projects Maker projects
