We are being introduced to a very fine piece of tech called a Micro:Bit. It's a pretty cool little computer actually. It has an "A" and a "B" button. It also has a reset button to reset your project. What you do is, you go on the Micro:Bit website and code your projects, download them, and put the program on the Micro:Bit. The Micro:Bit runs the projects by lighting up certain L.E.D.s when you press certain buttons. The input is the button, and the output is the L.E.D.s. I think this is really cool and I want to buy one so I can code it at home.
This is the code for the "Hello World!": A beginning project.
This is the code for "Expressions On Micro:Bit?": Another beginning project.
Now, we are getting into more advanced code for our Micro:Bit! This time we made a light sensor. Not just a light sensor though, I made the sensor play a sound. I like the difficulty raise with this project, because I learned a lot more things the Micro:Bit can do! To play the sound, we used alligator clips and headphones as a speaker so the Micro:Bit can play sound.
For the final project of Micro:Bit coding, I made a Hogwarts Mobile Sorting Wristband. The requirements were: coding a project, crafting something to go with it, and making a post. The code was fairly simple, all you had to do was make a variable and have the variable pick a random number for the house. We also had to make a video of our project running. We were allowed to edit the videos and I helped edit a few people's videos.
I liked working with Micro:Bits because it was fun to program the Micro:Bit.
