The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized codeable computer with motion detection, a built-in compass and Bluetooth technology. You can write your own code and attach sensors to expand the capabilities of the micro:bit.

You will be learning all about coding through your computing lessons and will design the code for your game there. In DT lessons you will design and manufacture the casing that allows a user to interact with the game.

You must have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve and be able to communicate that with your computing teacher as well as your DT teacher; as well as being clear in your own mind about what you are trying to achieve. Therefore, it is importantnt at this early stage to do a problem analysis and to come up with a suitable theme.

A problem analysis is an investigation of the design problem in front of you. Many design teams present this as a web diagram to help visualise the problem.

An example can be see below:
