Daily Log

Day 1-I programmed my Micro:Bit to say my name. (Avery)

Day 2-I started working on both flappy bird and a compass.

Day 3-I completed the compass, and took a video of it.

Planning Questions

Are you working by yourself or in a team? 

I am working by myself.

What materials will you need for your project?

I will need a Micro:Bit, a computer, and an iPad.

What is your plan to create in this project?

I will be creating a lot of different things, but they will all be 

coded.

What unique qualities will your project have?

My projects will have different qualities, but they're all coded through

micro bit.

• Using a Micro:bit and a computer, I created/coded my name and a compass on my Micro:bit because I wanted to test my coding abilities given the time that was offered. Based off of the fact that I have never once coded anything in my life, I am proud of the work I have accomplished in the time given. Micro:bit is a fun way to learn how to code overall.

• During this process, I learned how to code using Micro:bit, for this is something that I have never done before. I worked on several different projects, but I really enjoyed my final project, the compass. I was a bit confused because it really didn't look like a compass, but I soon understood and learned how it was supposed to work. 

• 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 Computational Thinker because in this project you're using technical resources to code. In this project, I created codes on the computer onto the Micro:bit, therefore tying this project to Computational Thinker. 

• A challenge I overcame on this project was fixing my code. I was able to do it by going back and seeing what I did wrong, and then fixing it from there. It took me a while to understand what to do, but once I figured it out I didn't have to do much in order for it to work again.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the optional code project. The reason why I would change it is because I feel like if I were to have had more time I could make something more interesting. Although I am satisfied with my final code, I feel that Flappy Bird would've been a much more interesting project to create. However, although I started working on it, I didn't fully understand what to do because the code seemed so large, so I just stuck with the compass and only went back to working on Flappy Bird when I had the time because I chose to prioritize working on the compass instead.
