In this project I am working by myself. The materials I need for this project is a Micro bit, computer, and expansion kit for Micro bit. The plan for the project is to control a servo motor with an eye attached to it. The unique qualities my project has is the different technologies.

Day 1. I started coding using tutorials, I learned how to move the motors.

Day 2. I printed the eye I would attach to the servo with toothpicks

Day 3. I adjusted the tooth picks and how far the servo could move. I started filming and taking photos.

Day 4.I made the video and edited my website

• Using Micro bit and expansion kit, I created a servo-controlled eyeball. I did this because it was a cool way to show how the servo moves. I attached the clips to the computer, hot glued sticks to the eye, and finally attached eye to the servo.

• During this process, I learned how to code servos using the Micro-bit code block. I have never used the coding script for Micro-bit to code a servo motor. I also used the website for help on how to move the servo.

• 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 Innovative Designer because I used different technologies to create a new creation/idea. Or, if someone has used a servo they haven't had the same idea as to what I did.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was how far the angle of the servo could move. I was able to do it by adjusting the code so the servo had a boundary it could turn. This took many trials and errors to figure out the correct number I wanted.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the appearance of the eye. I would do this by adding other features like LEDs or sound. The reason why I would change this is that it would make the eye cooler.
