List of 10 good ideas
1: Jukebox
2: Disco lights
3: Animal tracker
4: Sensory toy
5: Teleporting duck
6: Scratch boom box
7: Scratch paint
8: Metronome
9: Meet your microbit
10: Get up!
Day 1
Given instructions on how to use and store a microbit properly
Day 2
I coded a name badge :3
Day 3
I made multiple things but Geofry was by far my favorite (He is my best friend who is a digital giraffe and yes, his name is pronounced "Gee-o-fry" Don't bully him, he has been through too much already. He was raised in an abandoned Subway restaurant in the deep parts of Florida)
Day 4
I made a Magic 8 Ball that told me my dad will leave me
Day 5
I made a very punch-able light sensor (Context: It didn't want to download, but I forced it to)
Day 6
I made some calming LED lights to breathe along to :D
Day 7
Absent
Planning Questions
Are you working by yourself or in a team?: I worked by myself.
What materials will you need?: Makecode, a computer, and a microbit
What do you plan to create in this project?: Many (Useful or not) simple gadgets
What unique qualities will your project have?: One of my projects is a very original digital companion named Geofry
Using a coding program, I created a giraffe named Geofry because I don't have friends.
During this process, I learned how to make a light sensor.
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 Innovative Designer because I decided what I was going to create.
A challenge I overcame on this project was a colleague being disruptive. I was able to do it by asking them to be a little bit quieter.
Given a chance to do this again, I would have changed Geofry's name to Jeffery. The reason why I would change it is because Geofry is harder to spell.
