Share Some Kindness...
the low emission blue tooth kinda way:)

Humans love to communicate! In the past, we have used smoke & telegraphs. Today, use block based code to create a message that will be broadcast from one micro:bit to another via electromagnetic radiation (aka low emission Bluetooth technology)

To celebrate the MD STEM Festival, Tech Changers and the USRA STEMaction Center went on the road to get kids of all ages excited about electromagnetic radiation!  The {code} and science can be found here!  Careful, this isn't your grade school attempt at passing notes in class:)
