Microbit

Reflection questions:

• I created projects using a micro:bit that controlled lights and a servo. I chose this because it was a fun and interesting way to use technology. It helped me see how code can control real objects.

• During the project, I learned how to connect and program a servo with a micro:bit. At first it was confusing, but practice helped. By the end, I understood how to control movement with code.

• The class uses seven standards, including Global Collaborator. My project connects to this standard because it was published on a website. This allowed people around the world to see our work.

• One challenge I faced was getting the lights to work correctly. They did not function as expected at first. I solved this by researching online and watching videos.

• If I could redo the project, I would add sound. I think sound would make the project more interactive. It would improve the overall quality of the project.

• Hastings High School offers many CTE programs, including Computer Programming. My project connects to this program because it requires coding. It helped me practice real programming skills.

• This project connects to careers in IT and technology. We programmed small computers to perform tasks. These skills are used in many technology-based jobs.
