Activity (Lower Computational Thinking)

Step 1 : build forever → show number → temperature. ( how to link)

Flash to device (link).

Step 2 : Scavenge Hunt Battery pack on, roam the room. Record on a paper table. Write each number

• by the window,
• near a laptop,
• in a cupped hand,
• on the floor. 4–5 spots write the number each time..

Extension: The micro:bit thinks of temp in Celsius. Convert that reading into Fahrenheit for display and your logs; the micro:To do this, you must be able to make a variable and then implement the conversion formula. Here’s one way: (how to )

Activity (Upper Computational Thinking)

Step 1 : Two Numbers 1 Device : button A → temperature, B → light level (how to link)

Two sensors, one device.

Flash once .

Step 2 : Scavenge Hunt Battery pack on, roam the room. Record on a paper table. Log both temperature and light at each spot, and record a second reading at each spot 30 seconds apart to see if it drifts. 4–5 spots

• by the window,
• near a laptop,
• in a cupped hand,
• on the floor. 4–5 spots write the number each time..

Every microbit has a 2.4 GHZ radio module bulit into the CPU.

Below is demo of what we are going to do in this short tutorial–send a number of radio waves from one microbit to the other:

Microbit 1: The Sender

Radio Group. Both microbits must be set to the same group number. I chose the number 5. Just make sure you set that first (on start).

Microbit 2: The Receiver

Most common error is not setting the same radio group on both microbits.

If/else if / else with a variable

Create a variable and set it to a random number:
