Display stand - Create design ideas for a display stand for your information system

Create design ideas for a display stand for your information system

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

The London Underground is one of the busiest public transport systems in the world. It is used for over 1.2 billion journeys a year. Passengers need up to date information when using it so that they can plan their journeys well.

In this unit, learners will use the BBC micro:bit to develop a prototype for a programmable information system for users of the London Underground.

Activity info, teachers’ notes and curriculum links

In this activity, learners will design and develop ideas for a stand for the transport information display.

The activity sheet includes teachers’ notes, useful web links, and links (where appropriate) to the national curriculum in each of the four devolved nations; England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

All activity sheets and supporting resources are free to download, and all the documents are fully editable, so you can tailor them to your students’ and your schools’ needs.
