7p3 micro bit

Reflection

• Using my provided micro bit, I created a variety of things such as a heart and animated animals on my micro bit because I thought that it would be cool to see an animal jumping up and down on the micro bit screen.  

• During this process, I learned how to program images, numbers, and letters on a micro bit using a computer and a cord that downloads the images, numbers, and letters onto the micro bit.

• 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  Empowered Learner because I was learning process' and using my knowledge to figure out how to program things into my micro bit.  

• A challenge I overcame on this project was trying to figure out how to do the codes at first. I was able to do it by watching the videos or looking at the reference the website gave me. I also had trouble figuring out how to do some of the more complex codes.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change is using sound. The reason why I would change it is because I think it would be more cool to have coming out of my micro bit than no sound.

• 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 software developers, software engineers, and computer systems analysts because they all deal with computers.
