Gladiators – BBC Micro:bit

Overview

Are you ready for an exclusive Live Lesson featuring the Gladiators? Phantom and Dynamite go head-to-head in this fun design and technology lesson for primary schools, to celebrate the launch of the new Gladiators' micro:bit competition on 15 October 2024. Mwaksy Mudenda and Emma-Louise Amanshia host the lesson from inside a top-secret Gladiators training camp. During the programme, we’ll explore what the genius BBC micro:bit pocket-sized computer can do. Two teams of young designers are tasked with creating a micro:bit-powered invention to help the Gladiators win our ultimate Live Lessons eliminator event. Primary school children across the UK are also encouraged to join in real-time with a series of curriculum-linked design and technology activities. At the end of the lesson, Phantom and Dynamite will go up against each other in a tough physical challenge. But who will be crowned the winner?
