8P7 - Programmable

The resources I used for this project are, micro:bit, computer, Microsoft Make Code, Google, iMovie, and an iPad. With these provided resources I was able to create flappy bird on the micro:bit. I created this project because I wanted to show how a coded game would work on the micro:bit and I wanted to show how you can do many things on the micro:bit.

Throughout this project, I learned how to many things with the micro:bit. One of the things I learned how to do was use the variables in Make Code. Another I learned how to do was use the function blocks in coding. Another thing I learned was how to use the repeat and logic blocks.

There are 7 standards of the class. Those standards are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project can connect to many of these standards. The standard my project connects to the Innovative Designer standard. My project ties to this standard because I used a design plan to make this project. My project also connects to the Innovative Designer standard because I tested the code to see if it worked and I selected the right digital tools for this project.

I had to face and overcome many challenges throughout this project. One of the first challenges I faced during this project was making the variables work correctly in the code. I was able to overcome this challenge by messing around with the code and looking up tutorials. Another challenge I overcame was making the function blocks work correctly I was also able to do this by watching tutorials and messing round with coding. 

If I was given an opportunity to do this project again, I would change many things. One of the first things I would change is how many projects I did with the micro:bit, I would change this because I was running out of time with this project and struggling to code some of the projects correctly. Another thing I would change is the video, I would change the video because I was rushing to complete it in order to get the project in on time.

Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers many different programs. Some of those programs include, Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project ties to many of these CTE programs that are offered at the Hastings High School. The one my project connects to the most is that Digital Multimedia CTE program. My project ties to this CTE program because I used many different forms of digital media during this project. I used videos, interactive media and other websites or apps to complete this project.

There are many careers that this project connects to. One of the careers that this project is tied to is a web developer. My project connects to careers in web developing for many reasons. One of the first reasons my project is tied to this career is that web developers need to code and test their codes. During this project I had made codes and tested them to make they worked.
