8P9-Micro:Bit

• Using the Micro:Bit, I created a love meter because I do not know what other project to do and I am trying to learn how to use the laser cutter but I only had 2 days left to come up with a project and I decided the Micro:Bit. I decided I would do all the easy projects on the Micro:Bit. Now, you may be wondering why I would not do the hard projects. The reason is because I want to know how to use the simple stuff first, then move on. It may not sound like a good idea, but trust me, I know what I am doing, well, some of the time.

• During this process, I learned how to use the "on pin P0 pressed" and how to make a love meter. I might not use the skill of making a love meter in the near future, I know I will when I am a dad. Although I may have to do it on something else that is not Micro:Bit. Probably some child games that I used to play at my old house on an old computer. Or I would have to use something else, maybe somehow do something on Cospaces or, if I could, create my own game.

• The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Knowledge Constructor because I took the knowledge I already knew about Micro:Bit and I added more on top of it. I knew how to put my name on it, make a dice, play rock paper scissors with it, etc. Now I know how to create a love meter.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was what to create for my project since I already did most of the easy projects you could do on Micro:Bit. I was able to do it by looking what I have done the past year on it and I realized that I haven't done a love meter. Although a love meter is WAY out of my age and is more for kids under 9, I did it anyways. I could of done other stuff, but I thought I love meter was gonna be hard. It was not hard what so ever.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change what project I did. The reason why I would change it is because it was too easy. I was looking for a Micro:Bit project that would take me longer than the others, but not that hard. I thought the love meter was the perfect one, not easy, but not too hard. I do not know why I thought it was the perfect one. I totally didn't put in mind that love meters are for children, so of course it was gonna be easy, it as made for kids.
