7P3 micro bit 

• Using a micro bit and a computer, I created several exciting projects to explore its capabilities. My goal was to learn how to effectively use the micro to make innovative creations. Through these projects, I discovered the versatility of the micro bit  which can be used for everything from simple games to interactive displays. This hands-on experience deepened my understanding of programming and electronics, making learning both fun and engaging.

• During my projects with the micro bit and a computer, I learned how to use the micro and code it effectively. My goal was to explore its capabilities and create innovative designs. Through this hands-on experience, I discovered the versatility of the micro, which allows for a wide range of projects, from simple games to interactive displays. This journey not only enhanced my programming skills but also made learning about electronics exciting and enjoyable.

• My project with the micro bit aligns closely with the class standards, particularly the Innovative Designer standard. By designing and coding various projects, I was able to express my creativity while developing functional technology. This process not only enhanced my coding skills but also encouraged me to think critically and innovate. Ultimately, I learned how important it is to combine design with technology, which is a key aspect of being an empowered learner in today's digital world. 

• One challenge I faced during my micro  bit project was not fully understanding how the device works. At first, I felt overwhelmed, but I decided to ask my peers for help. Their guidance and support made a big difference, allowing me to grasp the concepts more clearly. This experience taught me the value of collaboration and problem-solving, and it reinforced my belief that working together can lead to greater understanding and success.

• Given the chance to do this again, I would choose different projects that are more challenging. While I enjoyed my initial creations, I realized that pushing myself to tackle more complex tasks would enhance my learning experience. I believe that taking on greater challenges would help me develop my coding skills further and deepen my understanding of how the micro bit works. Embracing this challenge would not only be rewarding but also more exciting as I explore new possibilities. 

• My project connects to the Computer Programming Career and Technical Education (CTE) program at Hastings High School. By using the micro bit, I engaged in coding and design, which are essential skills taught in this program. This experience has allowed me to apply the principles of computer programming in a hands-on way, reinforcing my interest in technology and innovation. I believe that my work with the micro bit has prepared me for further studies in computer programming and other related fields offered at Hastings High School.

• My project connects to careers in web programming because I was actively programming my micro bit to perform various functions. This experience taught me valuable coding skills and problem-solving techniques that are essential in web development. By working with the micro bit, I gained insights into how programming can create interactive experiences, similar to what is done in web programming. This connection has inspired me to explore further opportunities in the field and consider a future career in technology.
