Year 5 ARM Innovation Day Trip

26th September 2025
On Friday, Year 5 visited the ARM Cambridge office to take part in an innovation day linked to their computing curriculum. 

The session was focused around using the BBC Micro:Bit to learn physical computing skills and develop software that has real-world applications. Using this technology the children worked in teams to design their own Micro:Pet ( designing and prototyping a digital creature). At the end of the day, children presented their creations and explained their use of the various components on the Micro:Bit.

It was a fabulous day and the children were incredibly engaged throughout. We were incredibly impressed by their enthusiasm and hard work during the day and they created some really fabulous digital pets!
