Introduction
This activity focuses on using the micro:bit, a small programmable device, to create a simple program that displays a happy face when button A is pressed and a sad face when button B is pressed. Participants will learn about the basics of programming, including the use of pseudocode, event handlers, and the Microsoft MakeCode IDE.
Key Features:
- Hands-on Learning: Engage with the micro:bit hardware and learn to write code that interacts with it.
- Pseudocode Development: Understand the importance of planning your program before coding.
- Event Handling: Learn how to respond to user inputs through button presses.
- Visual Feedback: Use LEDs to provide immediate visual feedback based on user actions.
Use Cases:
- Ideal for beginners in programming and electronics.
- Suitable for educational settings, such as classrooms or coding clubs, where students can learn coding concepts in a fun and interactive way.
