Learn MakeCode in One Video

MakeCode makes it easy for anyone to make awesome electronics projects. In this one video I’ll show you how all the main blocks work as I create 15 projects. One project is a Collision Detecting Robot!

I also provide basically a complete tutorial on the Adafruit Playground Express. It is like an Arduino with a TON of sensors built in. I also show you how the Adafruit Crickit board makes it easy to drive motors, how to use Ultrasonic Sensors and so much more.
