In this project, I learned how to print simple messages to an LCD. First, I used a temperature sensor. Second, I printed sensor data to an LCD. Third, I made an interactive game that incorporates the LCD. I applied computational thinking skills like algorithm design by following step-by-step instructions from the SparkFun Inventor's Kit Guide on how to make the text appeared properly.

The most rewarding part of this assignment was the time when the LCD successfully displayed. It took awhile for me to put the wires in the correct location because I need to make sure that it was not overlap with other electronic components. I believe this assignment was really exciting and challenging experience. I was excited when the LCD displayed properly and challenged when I need to fix the parts where I did a mistake. Furthermore, I was sure that I took a lot of valuable and useful skills from this project. In the future, I might be able to fix my LCD digital clock by myself.
