Physical Computing combines objects in the physical world around us as input and/or output that is processed by computer programs. We will be using the Circuit Playground Express, which provides buttons, lights, sensors, switches and sound, and can be programmed from within App Lab.
For this lab you will be in groups to discuss with each other how to get everything to work, but your lab submission will be individual, reflecting your own individual progress.
Take a selfie of yourself with your Circuit Playground, where the single LED is turned on, as explained in the setup sequence above. In this google form, post the link to your App Lab solution AND upload your Circuit Playground selfie.
After going over the previously described Circuit Playground Express lessons, design and build one of the following, or something similar to them:
To get started, go here: https://studio.code.org/projects/applab/
To add the circuit playground buttons, click on gear next to toolkit. On drop down, click “Enable Maker Toolkit”. Now, you should see the “Circuit” library show up in your toolbox.
