    Uploaded by

    Alejandro Angel
    This document provides an overview of the Microsoft MakeCode platform for programming micro:bit devices. It discusses how MakeCode provides both a block-based and JavaScript editor and allows for free coding in the browser or offline. Example projects are shown that can be built like animations, games incorporating buttons and sensors. Challenges are presented for fixing sample code and creating a radio simulation project. Attendees are guided on how to download programs to the micro:bit and install project files. In the end, resources are shared for continuing exploration.

    The key takeaways are that the workshop introduces the micro:bit hardware and covers programming it using the MakeCode online editor using both block and JavaScript coding. It also discusses downloading programs to the micro:bit and exploring example projects and challenges.

    The main programming languages and tools covered are the MakeCode online block-based editor, the MakeCode JavaScript editor, and MicroPython. The block editor allows visual programming while the JavaScript editor allows for text-based coding.

    Some example projects mentioned that can be built include wrist cuffs, wallets/purses, light monsters, magic wands, and air guitars.

    Program an Animation
    5. Notice your animation running in the
    4. In the first Show LED block, click squares to Simulator
    turn on lights to make a design

    Smiley Face Heart

    6. Try replacing the first Show LED block


    with a Show Icon block

    7. Experiment with
    other Basic blocks
    Download your program to the micro:bit
    1. Plug in your micro:bit with USB cable

    2. Click Download Button


    3. Microsoft Edge: Select ‘Save As’ onto your
    MICROBIT USB drive

    4. Google Chrome: Find the file you


    downloaded (microbit-Untitled.hex), and
    copy your file over to the micro:bit drive
    when it appears on your computer
    Add Inputs 3. Drag a Show String block under the On
    Button Pressed block in your program
    1. Open the Input Toolbox drawer
    2. Drag a On Button Pressed block onto your Workspace

    4. Test your program in the Simulator by


    clicking Button A

    5. Try other inputs

    Your goal: When you shake the Micro:bit, the arrow spins and
    slows down until it lands on a random direction.

    The starter code provided always lands on the same direction.


    How can you fix it?
    Challenge 2
    Servo
    What are the max and min values for rotation (pitch) on the X axis?
    Challenge 3
    Create Radio Simulation

    Just drag the .hex file to your MICROBIT


    volume. No need to Import it to the IDE! (Unless
    you want to check out the JavaScript behind it.)
