Daily log

Day one

I learned about what a micro-bit was and began to work on my slide.

Day two

I then started to program a code that shows my name and put it on the micro-bit.

Day three

I started my next project into making a code for a beating heart and programmed it onto my micro-bit.

Day four

I created a step counter that counts steps by feeling the vibrations.

Day five

I made a dice that chooses a random number 1-6 when it's shaken.

Day six

I uploaded my videos onto google drive and put them on the slide.

Day seven

I did my reflection

Project #1

My name gets shown when I press a button

Project #2

The heart automatically beats

Project #3

I created a step-counter that counts the vibrations and counts them

Project #4

I made a dice that picks a number 1-6 for you

• Using a MakeCode programming software, I created 4 different projects for entertainment and to mess around with because I enjoy programming and making things for entertaining people.

• During this process, I learned how to program and create codes for a micro-bit.

• 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 Creative Communicator because I used the right tools for the job and made some creative things.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was creating the codes. I was able to do it by messing around with different buttons, options, and exploring the many things that the programming software provided until I could find and discover new things.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change a few of the simple micro-bit projects. The only reason I would change it is because I could have the opportunity to make something unique, entertaining, and overall better and learn how to make it.

My project connects to the Computer programming CTE program at Hastings High School. My project connects to careers in software programming.
