7P3 - Micro:Bit

 Reflection

• Using A Micro:Bit, I created a rock, paper, scissors, player, a Minecraft tool shower, a name tag, A love tester, Micro:Bit Clicker, A Minecraft song player, And a stopwatch. I made seven different Micro:Bit projects I learned something different in each project. The project requirement was three but I did a little more than required.

• During this process, I learned how to program using blocks coding language. Blocks is a gateway coding language so I can eventually use others like Java or Python. I also learned how to use a Micro:Bit to do seven different things a rock, paper, scissors, player, a Minecraft tool shower, a name tag, A love tester, Micro:Bit Clicker, A Minecraft song player, And a stopwatch.

• 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 learned how to code use blocks and use a Micro:Bit, both new to me.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was deciding what to make. I was able to do it by getting inspiration from the starter projects and then modifying them just a bit. I also used other means like utilizing a speaker to make some noise.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change how many I made. The reason why I would change it is because I would like to make more than seven if I had more time. I would have shot for ten because the more the merrier and I like to use Micro:Bit and I also like Blocks coding language.
