Learners to demonstrate existing knowledge of sustainability issues in Design and Technology

This is one of a series of resources to support the use of the BBC micro:bit in Design and Technology lessons.

Reducing energy usage in the home saves money, increases energy security and reduces the need to burn unsustainable fossil fuels. The first step in doing this is monitoring how much energy is used each day.

In this unit of learning, learners will use the BBC micro:bit to develop a prototype for a home energy usage monitoring system that will inform people how long they leave their lights and/or heating on during the day.
