We used conditional statements, Boolean logic and the onboard magnetometer to create a working compass with our Microbits today. Michelle M. Stecchini Tara Weber Will Smith ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ต๐ ๐๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ท
We wrote programs that allowed us to detect whether or not a magnet was present in the vicinity of the Microbit. My astute students quickly discovered that magnets were the magic that kept their laptop covers secure. Michelle M. Stecchini Will Smith Tara Weber ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ต๐ ๐๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ท
We created a two way communication system using the bluetooth radio built into the Microbit. This allowed us to become modern day telegraph operators and send messages in Morse Code. Michelle M. Stecchini Tara Weber Will Smith ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ต๐ ๐๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ท
We are writing programs to guide our finch robots around a square. Michelle M. Stecchini Tara Weber Will Smith ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ต๐ ๐๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ท
We are programming our Finch robots to make a smooth k-turn. We used an iterative design process to get closer and closer to the goal. This bot is almost dialed in๐ฏ. Michelle M. Stecchini Tara Weber Will Smith ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ต๐ ๐๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ท
After determining the values for the light reflected from the black and white surfaces of the mat, we wrote a program to keep our Finch trapped within the oval. Michelle M. Stecchini Tara Weber Will Smith ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ต๐ ๐๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ท
We added a marker to our Finch robots and are working on a program to โwriteโ our names. Students are going to go through multiple iterations before theyโre finished. Michelle M. Stecchini Tara Weber Will Smith ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ต๐ ๐๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ท
Success!!! Students coding Micro:bit Educational Foundation to detect earthquakes and send info to hub. So important for us in California! Statewide California Earthquake Center Stonecreek JHS #wearepbv #ngss #computerscience
We trained an AI to recognize different images and had the Microbit give a response based on what was detected. We had way more fun with the traffic cones than I thought we would๐ Michelle M. Stecchini Tara Weber Will Smith ๐๐ฒ๐ถ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ต๐ ๐๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ช๐ท
We made solar powered bug bots in Maker Club today! ๐๐ชฒ๐ค Michelle M. Stecchini Tara Weber Will Smith Chris Wilson

Today we replicated the classic Magic 8-ball experience with our Microbits. I donโt have to consult the oracle to know that they enjoyed the programming challenges. Will Smith Michelle M. Stecchini Tara Weber MATTEL
