Are you working by yourself or in a team?

By myself

What materials will you need for your project?

My computer, microbit, and my ipad.

What is your plan to create in this project?

My plan is to watch videos on Mr. Renners website on how to use the microbit, and then work for 5 days on 5 different mini-projects.

What unique qualities will your project have?

My project will have my own creation without copying other people's work.

Day 1

First, I watched videos on mr.renner.com on what a microbit is and how to use it. I followed the instructions and got to the website intended. Then I created a list of ten good ideas and answered my planning questions.

Day 2

I had to catch up on the projects I missed while I was out sick for three days. I worked on my second project for the whole hour and took pictures and videos of it. I figured out how to make the codes repeat instead of adding the same codes multiple times.

Day 3

Day 3 I was still playing catch up and finishing project one, while starting number three. I made sure to take pictures of both projects and thorough videos on my ipad.

Day 4

I created a fourth new projects and played around with new codes for a while before assembling the project I wanted. I used my ipad and recorded the new project on both my computer and my microbit.

Day 5

I finsished my fifth and final project, and then answered the reflection questions below. I then edited and organized my photos, videos, ect. on my page.

Reflection Questions:

Using the website makecode, I created five different projects from my computer and onto my microbit, featuring my name, and coundown from 5 and 3. I created each of these projects and it was remotely easy for me to figure out because its my second time working with coding.
During this process, I learned how to use more difficult coding process with having to testit a bunch on the computer before I could download it onto the microbit.
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 throughout making each project I had to teach myself how to use each code and what it makes the microbit do.
A challenge I overcame on this project was having unnecessary codes on my space, and not being able to neatly see problems I needed to fix. I was able to do it by Finding the repeat code and only putting the sequence of lights that I needed in the bracket to add to the project, instead of adding each code over and over.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change From lights to music. The reason why I would change it is because I tried to do the music but it wasn't working on my microbit when I had everything correct.
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 programming CTE program at Hastings High School.
My project connects to careers in Computer programming. This project connects to careers in computer programming because I needed to use codes and figure how to download it onto the microbit circuit board.
