Engage with Microbits!

Programming is ...

• A series of instructions that tell the computer what to do

• An English script

• A font

How do we programme computers?

• By pressing a button

• Using Programming Language (code)

What language we are using to code in Microbit

The "Display" function is used to display text and images in Microbit?

• True

• False

What is the expected output for the code:

display.scroll('Hello, World!')

• I am not sure

• It will display scrolling text "Hello, World"

• An image will appear with the worlds "Hello world"

What Python code allows me to add delays or wait time?

• Display.image

• Sleep

Select the correct pseudocode for the below code:

    display.scroll('Hello, World!') 

    display.show(Image.HEART) 

    sleep(2000) 

• START

  1. DISPLAY Scrolling text "Hello, World"

  2. Show an image of a heart

  3. Make the programme wait for 2000

  END

• START

  SCROLL

  SHOW

  SLEEP

• I still don't know what a pseudocode is

What is the expected output for the code:

display.show(Image(

 "00000:" ))

Hint: Re-call what happens when you type zero or nine in the code above.

• All the microbit LEDs will turn ON

• All the microbit LEDs will turn OFF and nothing will display

• I am not sure

What is the expected output for the code below

Display.set_pixel(0,1,9)

• The Microbit Light will turn on for the coordinates

  where x=0 and y=1 are coordinates of the grid

• Displays an scrolling image or text "0,1,9"

Rate your confidence using Microbit now compared to your first class?

• I comfortable with the tool

• I am starting to feel confident

• It is taking me time but I understand the concepts

• I need to start from the beginning
