Introduction
In this project, you will create a binary cash register using simple materials such as cardboard, copper tape, and a micro:bit. This hands-on activity not only teaches the concept of binary numbers but also involves programming the micro:bit to display decimal values based on the binary input from the cash register.
Key Features:
- Hands-On Learning: Engage in a practical project that combines crafting with coding.
- Programming Skills: Learn to program the micro:bit to interpret binary inputs and display corresponding decimal values.
- Materials Required: Basic materials like cardboard, copper tape, and coins make this project accessible.
Use Cases:
- Educational Tool: Ideal for teaching binary numbers in a fun and interactive way.
- STEM Activities: Suitable for classrooms or workshops focused on technology and engineering concepts.
- Creative Expression: Allows for customization and creativity in design and functionality.
