This week designers learned more about the sensors that are part of the #micro:bit. The Sensor Circus activity @codejoyedu.bsky.social was a big hit with lots of screaming and clever ways to find readings on our outside journey.

You know quality instruction when you receive it. I am so thankful for Infosys Foundation USA pathfinders @codejoyedu.bsky.social Micro:bit in the Wild. Yesterday I used the gestures lesson in Video 5. Next week I will be using the Multiple Sensors in Video 11 #Micro:bit @microbit.org.

Our final project deadline is this week Friday with designers having created a final prototype as well as a video to document their process. It is at this stage that I hold my breath and hope that this wasn't a complete failure of a design challenge. icreateilearn.weebly.com/designing-6-...

Here are the most recent modules in Smart Farming from @forwardedu.bsky.social that I have tried. I can't wait to get enough kits to share these learning experiences with my designers. I love how this connects my #micro:bits with #SDGs. I included a picture of me with some of the team at #FETC.
