This is the code i used to make a love meter.

This is what the love meter does.

this was the code i used to make my name cross across the screen. The video of my name is on the home page of my website.

• Using Microbits , I created a coin flipper, love meter, and made my name flash across the screen, because those seemed like interesting code to make. When my name flashed across the screen the code took two components. The coin flipper had the longest amount of code with eight pieces of main code. The second longest code was the love meter with six pieces of code.

• During this process, I learned that downloading code is difficult. I learned this because sometimes the code wouldn't download and I didn't know where the code went. Later I figured out that the code went to my downloads folder. The reason some code would not download is because I forgot to hit the button. That is what I learned during this project.

• 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 I used computers to make code and think about what to do next. Other class standards my project connects to is Innovative Designer because I designed a string of code that I used to do different things. The third class standard that my project connects to is Empowered Learner because I learned new things such as how to code and how to download code.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was I had to redownload things every day. I was able to do it by saving all the code I made. This was a serious challenge in the beginning because I would delete my previous code. I was able to get past this because Mircobit.com saves your code you make. That was a challenge I over came during this project.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the amount of codes i made. The reason why I would change it is because I had a lot of time to make code I just focused more on the three codes I made. Some other things I would've wanted to make are a watch because I think that would be complex and fun. One other thing I would've wanted to make is a step counter because I could see how many steps I get in my first hour. That is what I would change if I got to do this project again.

• Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the Computer Programing CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in coding, and video game design. The reason my project connects to coding is because I used code to make a love meter and my name flash across the screen. The reason my project connects to Video game design is because I made the flip a coin game. That is what my project connects to for a job and in high school.
