7P3 Micro-Bit

Reflection:

Using a Micro Bit and an iPad, I created several codes to showcase on my digital portfolio website. I wanted to share my coding journey and highlight my skills, so visitors can explore the eight different codes I've developed. Each project demonstrates unique features and functions, reflecting my growth as a programmer. I hope my portfolio inspires others to dive into the world of coding! 

During this process, I learned how to create different codes using my computer and Micro Bit. I really enjoyed making and experimenting with all the various codes. One of my favorite projects was the Magic 8 Ball, where I programmed it to give fun answers to yes-or-no questions. This experience not only enhanced my coding skills but also sparked my creativity!

The seven standards of our class include Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project connects to the Innovative Designer standard because I created and designed all the codes by myself. I studied existing codes and worked to improve them, which allowed me to express my creativity and problem-solving skills.

A challenge I overcame in this project was making the codes correctly. I was able to succeed by watching the helpful pictures and videos provided to me. These resources guided me and showed me how to find what I needed to create the different codes. 

If I had the chance to do this project again, I would change the difficulty of the codes. I would like to challenge myself more by creating fewer, but larger and more complex codes. Instead of making seven small codes and one big one, I could focus on developing three or four bigger codes that push my skills further.

Hastings High School's Career and Technical Education Program offers various fields, including Agriculture, Business Management, and Computer Programming. My project connects to the Computer Programming CTE program, which teaches students how to write code that directs how a computer or software performs. This experience has helped me understand the importance of coding in creating functional applications.

My project connects to careers in software engineering because both involve coding and design. Software engineers review their work after creating it, just like I did in my project. I practiced these skills and went beyond by experimenting with different codes and designs.
