Aiden, Avery, and Mia are having a friendly competition to see who can display a heart shape on the micro:bit first. How can they do it?

• They can use the LED matrix and program it to light up specific LEDs in the shape of a heart.

• They can connect the micro:bit to a heart-shaped accessory.

• They can shake the micro:bit to create a heart shape.

• They can use the speaker to play a heart-shaped sound.

Evelyn, Mason, and Anika are working on a project with a micro:bit. Can you guess why they might be using sensors with their micro:bit?

• To boost their internet connection

• To make their micro:bit heavier

• To play their favorite tunes

• To collect data from their surroundings and interact with the physical world.

Emma, Ethan and Kai are having a race to see who can make their micro:bit react to movement the fastest. How can they use the accelerometer sensor with their micro:bit?

• By using the input.gravity() function

• By using the input.accelerometer() function

• By using the input.acceleration() function

• By using the input.motion() function

Avery, Emma, and Mason are having a debate about the micro:bit buttons. Avery thinks they can be used as a power switch, Emma believes they can trigger specific actions when pressed, and Mason thinks they can change the color of the display or play music. Who do you think is correct?

• Avery: By using them as a power switch for the micro:bit

• Emma: By programming them to trigger specific actions or events when pressed

• Mason: By using them to change the color of the micro:bit display

• Mason: By using them to play music on the micro:bit speaker

Sophia, Charlotte, and Zoe are working on a project using micro:bit. They are curious to know, what are the different output options available for their micro:bit?
