Tasks:
1. Go to MAKECODE EDITOR and do the 'Flashing Heart' tutorial. (Choose 'Blocks' and follow the instructions.
2. Download your code and put it in you 10ROB folder.
3. Connect a microbit to your chromebook and copy your code to the microbit.

PART 2 - USING THE ACCELEROMETER FOR INPUT
Learning Intention:
Write a program to turn the micro bit into an electronic die which uses the micro bit accelerometer to detect when it is shaken and output a random number.
Tasks:
1. Watch the video on accelerometers:
PART 3 - PAPER SCISSORS ROCK
PART 3 - PAPER SCISSORS ROCK
Learning Intention:
Write a program to play a paper scissors rock game.
Task:
1. Go to MAKECODE EDITOR and do the 'Rock Paper Scissors' activity. In this activity, you will use a VARIABLE call 'hand'. You will need to create the variable in the VARIABLES menu.
2. Download your code and copy it into your 10ROB folder.
3. Take a screenshot of your code and save it in your 10ROB folder.
4. Connect a microbit to your chromebook and copy your code to the microbit.
5. Post the simulator with your code running to your blog. Watch the video below to see how to do this.
PART 4 - USING THE COMPASS
PART 4 - USING THE COMPASS
Learning Intention:
Write a program to turn the micro bit into compass.
Task:
The microbit has an inbuilt compass which detects which direction it is facing. Go to MAKECODE EDITOR, click NEW PROJECT and make the program below. This program uses a VARIABLE called 'direction' to hold the compass direction. As in the PAPER SCISSORS ROCK activity, you will need to create this variable in the VARIABLES menu.
When you download the program to the microbit, it will first ask you to calibrate the compass by tilting the microbit. Tilt it until all the LEDs are lit, then the program will start.
Try to find North, East, South and West.
Download your code to your 10ROB folder.
