UK pupils playing music using fruit in place of a mouse

Scientists at Woodford Green Prep School showed pupils how to turn their headphones into a jukebox controlled by fruit.

For British Science Week, the pupils were shown how to program micro:bit micro-computers to play their favourite tunes through headphones using bananas and oranges instead of a mouse.

Guardian-series.co.uk reports how the Programming for Primaries workshop, delivered on Friday March 16, encouraged students to build on their abilities and explore something new.

Andrew Green, who ran the free two-hour session, claims the workshop shows ordinary people can use programming and coding.
