Intro to CS with MakeCode for micro:bit Unit 1

True or false: Code, or a program, gives instructions to a computer to tell it what to do.

• True

• False

From the MakeCode home page, how do you get to the programming workspace?

• Start a new project

• Open an existing project

• Import a program

• All of the above

What are two ways to power the micro:bit?

• Connecting it to a computer with the micro-USB cable

• Connecting it to a computer with the battery pack

• Plugging the micro:bit directly into a wall outlet

• The micro:bit does not need to charge or power up.

How do you get a program on the micro:bit?

• Connecting the micro:bit to a computer with the micro-USB cable and selecting the Download button in a MakeCode project

• Connecting the micro:bit to the battery pack and selecting the Download button in a MakeCode project

• Wirelessly using Bluetooth

• None of the above

What is the simulator?

• The area of a MakeCode project where you build a program

• The face of the micro:bit

• The area of a MakeCode project that shows how a program looks when run on the micro:bit

• The buttons that allow you to switch between Blocks and JavaScript in a MakeCode project

How many programs will a micro:bit hold at one time?

• as many as possible up to 16 kB RAM

• infinite

• only one program at a time

What is an algorithm

• A program

• A set of procedures or directions to accomplish a task

• The first step in a programming procedure

• A new electronic beatbox program to lay down the rythmn

What is the position of the top left LED?

• (1,1)
• (0,1)
• (0,0)
• (1,0)

What would this code do?

• Nothing at all as the Microbit can't tell the temperature
• Tell the temperature when the Microbit was shaken
• Nothing at all as the code has a bug in it
• Tell the temperature when button A was pressed

If you want to see your code working on the Microbit emulator which option would you choose?

• Run
• Compile
• Convert
• Save
