7P2 Micro:bit

Using a micro:bit, USB cord, and makecode, I created many different projects including an Interactive story, Mini light show, and breathing activity because I wanted to do something fun but also challenging. I also wanted to make something that could possibly help someone. For me, the hardest part was creating the code for the interactive story.

During this process, I learned that stuff won't always go as planned but you just have to be flexible and figure it out. Sometimes you get sick or something gets in the way but you can always work at home or just work very hard when you get back. 

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 kept trying with the breathing activity. Also, I wanted to make the breathing activity because it could possibly help someone.

A challenge I overcame on this project was I got very sick and was gone for a week. I was able to do it by working very hard when I got back finishing my website. I could not do a lot of projects with this one because the interactive story took a long time.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change how many projects I did. The reason why I would change it is because I would have liked to do more projects because I had a lot of ideas I wish I could've done. I would have liked to have made a way to pass notes with someone.
