• Using a micro bit I recreated the song megalomania because I thought it would be cool to hear the 8 bit style song with the micro bit that makes the song sound super cool.
• During this process, I learned the notes on a piano to be able to play the song.
• 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 knowledge constructor because I was learning how to play piano and I barely knew how.
• A challenge I overcame on this project was not knowing how to make the song sound right with the rhythm . I was able to do it by trial and error and constantly listening to the song .
• Given a chance to do this again, I would change make it do more than one song when you press different buttons. The reason why I would change it is because it would cool to have a use for the buttons.
