Resources
Not sure where to get started? Need some inspiration? This page lists learning resources that we know and trust.
This list is under active construction as we migrate to our new website. Let us know which bits you find useful (or not), and make suggestions for new things that should be added. Note that although we are happy to receive suggestions for new resources, as a matter of policy we do not post links to sites which have mainly paid-for content or whose main goal is commercial rather than educational.
CodeClub Projects
Our partners at the Raspberry Pi Foundation have created a brilliant website with both short projects you can do at a session and longer learning paths you can follow. This is where we recommend you start if you want to learn Scratch, Python, HTML/CSS, micro:bits, Unity, or Raspberry Pis.
Hour of Code
Hour of Code, by Code.org, has a great number of projects you can do in one or a few hours—perfect for a Prewired session! They have content for Scratch, Python, JavaScript, and Lua.
Cyber Skills Live
Cyber Skills Live has short projects around topics like ethical hacking, digital forensics, data science, and artificial intelligence. Try for example 'How to rob a bank' or 'Defend Stirling Castle'!
micro:bit projects
We have plenty of micro:bits at Prewired that you're able to use during sessions. The micro:bit website has loads of project ideas using different sensors and for different environments, such as Microsoft MakeCode, Scratch, or Python.
LEGO SPIKE Prime projects
We have two LEGO SPIKE Prime kits that are available for use outside of FIRST LEGO League season. The SPIKE app has some great ideas for builds, from different driving bases to a CNC machine or safe-deposit box!
