G34-5 Intro to Robotics with MakeCode & Microbit

* What is a Microbit and its supporting programming languages. * User interface design of MakeCode to code Microbit. * Writing programs in MakeCode and downloading code on Microbit.

* Code programmable buttons on Microbit * Variables, mathematical operators, and randomization of numbers. * Display numbers on Microbit LED grid.

* Events and loops to display animations on Microbit LED grid. * Use of “pause” block to control the speed of changing the LED output. * Games with animations, images, and conditional decision-making.

* Microbit LED grid coordinate system. * Nested loops

* Learn to use game blocks in MakeCode to code games for Microbit. * Practice loops, random blocks, variables, mathematical and boolean operators.

* Understand that Microbit LEDs can be used as a light sensor, measuring the amount of light falling on them. * Learn to sense light levels and then use them to build interesting applications.

* Learn to use the accelerometer sensor to detect gestures such as free fall, tilt, shaking, etc. * Learn to sense any other motion on Microbit.

* Learn how to use the Bluetooth extensions in Make code. * Learn how to pair their phone with the Microbit. * Controlling Microbit with Smartphone

* Learn to use Microbit inbuilt speaker * Use Microphone for interesting applications. * Learn to code microbit for responding to sounds such as clapping

* Learn about Microbit's built-in magnetometer sensor. * Learn to use this sensor to detect the magnetic force around Microbit and code Microbit to create many useful applications.

* Learn about Microbit's built-in temperature sensor. * Learn to use Microbit to take temperature readings.

* Create a real-time application of the Microbit accelerometer. * Take readings/make observation chart to use real-time sensor values in the application made.
