Today's @microbit.org project is a simple traffic light. Using some basic LEDs and crocodile clips attached to the pins on the micro:bit. I have coded a sequence which happens when you press Button A. youtu.be/ysS_OCXIZI8?...

Thought I'd share my @microbit.org Christmas Tree 🎄 again this year. I have used some cheap LEDs, crocodile clips and card to create this. The pins are then programed to flash the LEDs in a sequence

Today I have a Halloween themed project 🎃👻 a @microbit.org ghost that moves between two micro:bits when you shake them. Based on one of my favourite projects the teleporting duck!

If you are looking for something different to do for Halloween 🎃👻 this week I have made a tutorial to create a spooky track in GarageBand (on an iPad). I would say learners of P4 (Age 8) upwards would be able to create a track like this example.

Today I have a @microbit.org version of a very well known game - Rock Paper Scissors 🪨📃✂️. When you shake the micro:bit one of the symbols appears.

My @microbit.org project today is a noise meter..🔊. This displays a graph of noise level input from the microphone on the micro:bit. It then sounds an alarm if the noise gets too high.

Today's @microbit.org project is a countdown timer. On Button A pressed the micro:bit will countdown displaying digits in a special font using an extension.

Today's @microbit.org project is a proximity beacon📡. You can hide one micro:bit and use another to find it. A nice graph appears on the recieving micro:bit. I've use this as a treasure hunt.

As it is @mathsweek.scot I have put together a few ideas for using the @microbit.org in Maths. Including creating dice, counters, a times tables tester and using the data logging features. #MathsWeekScot

As it's @mathsweek.scot today's @microbit.org project is a times tables tester 😃. On button A it will randomly generate a times table question and on button B reveal the answer. Great to practice times tables in a different way. #MathsWeekScot

Today's @microbit.org project is a night light 💡. It uses the light sensors on the micro:bit to measure light level and turn on the light when it gets dark.

Today's project for my @microbit.org tutorial is a clap counter 👏. This uses the microphone to increase the number when it hears a loud sound 🔊.

So today's @microbit.org project is what I call 'rotating screen' investigating the accelrometer the same component that phones and tablets use for screen rotation 🔃.

Here's another simple @microbit.org project for the start of the school year - A dice 🎲. You very quickly have a working dice you can use for a maths lesson, board games or something else!

A new school year is the perfect time to get started with the @microbit.org 😃. Here's my favourite starter project - creating animations 💻.
I've created new video tutorials based on my popular micro:bit starter lessons, they will be appearing on Youtube 🎥. #microbitchampion

With the start of the new school year a few people have asked me about planning digitally📒. I think OneNote is the best tool out there for planning and it's free with a microsoft account. I have some OneNote planner templates and video tutorials here: mrmorrison.co.uk/resources/digitalplanning
