For this project, I created Tetris 2 using the Micro:bit. I chose to make a second version because I had a lot of fun building the first one, and this gave me a chance to relearn and practice the steps of creating a Micro:bit program from start to finish.

My project connects to the Digital Citizen standard because I used technology responsibly to design and share a game that others can play. It also ties into the Computational Thinker and Innovative Designer standards, since I had to break down problems, test different ideas, and design creative solutions while building the game.

One challenge I faced was figuring out how to end the game in a way that felt complete. At first, I wasn’t sure how to make the ending work, but I eventually solved it by coming up with a more interesting and creative ending sequence.

If I had the chance to do this project again, I would change the colors in the game. I think using more exciting or contrasting colors would make the game more visually appealing and fun to play.

This project connects to the Computer Programming pathway in the Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program. By designing and coding a game, I practiced skills used in real programming careers. It also relates to careers in game development, because I created a working game by writing code, testing it, and improving it — just like game designers and developers do.

I used Copilot to help me
