Great way to use micro:bits from @mrmorrison.co.uk 💡

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.

More fun with @microbit.org and the Climate Action Kit. My grade 5s built a wind turbine and a monitor that waters a plant when moisture percentage falls below 30%. Excellent response from students.

My #fourthgrade Ss & robotic art at our #artshow! It was a big hit! Ss chose artwork to recreate or reimagine. Using @microbit.org and @birdbraintech & @MSMakeCode they added lights, motors and sensors. The shark was a favorite! #STEMeducation #Coding #makerspace #electronics

Worked on coding sequential, repeating, and concurrent events with Grade 4s today using #micro:bits! They coded music to play while an animation flashed on the display. 🐶 🎵
