Block based programming environment: @https://microbit.makecode.com @https://www.microbit.co.uk/blocks/lessons

5x5 red LED grid Two buttons Accelerometer Magnetometer (can act like a compass)

Can be programmed from virtually any device that runs a browser Can also be programmed from Python Radio allows one MicroBit to talk to another wirelessly

Alligator clip to the ports on the bottom Output boards allow you to breadboard from the MicroBit

@https://makecode.microbit.org/ has a simulator so you can see what the code will do on the MicroBit

Make a program to display your name
 * 1) On start: execute once
 * 2) Forever: loop
 * 3) Download the .hex file
 * 4) Copy the .hex file to the MicroBit

Can download your projects and then reload the .hex file into the browser Also saves into the browser cache: safer to download the .hex for long-term storage

Rock, Paper, Scissors
 * 1) On shake
 * 2) Create three variables
 * 3) If/then/else
 * 4) Variables relate to three different graphics

Charades: word scrolls across MicroBit worn on forehead, other person has to act out the word

Free play

Can hook up speaker: 0 and ground
