BBC Microbit within Python and Block-Coding Through Projects

Explore heart beating animation on the BBC micro:bit using block coding and Python, implementing a forever loop with small and large heart icons and 100 ms pauses.

Create a digital name badge with the micro:bit by scrolling your name and flashing a heart or smile, using block coding and Python loops.

Create a duck jumping animation on the micro:bit by alternately displaying two LED frames. Use a forever loop with a 100 ms delay, in block coding and Python.

Create sunbeam animation on the micro:bit by cycling LED patterns from dot to plus to square using block coding and Python, with a while true loop and 200 ms delays.

Create an emotion badge on a micro:bit using button A for a smile and button B for a sad face, with both buttons signaling yes, and explore coding in Python.

Program the micro bit to display happy, sad, or silly faces via button A, button B, or shake, using block coding and Python with a while loop.

See how the micro:bit light sensor uses a forever loop and if conditions to light leds or show icons like sun or heart as light levels change.

Shake the micro:bit with the accelerometer to generate random numbers from zero to ten (and one to six for dice), shown by scrolling text, with block coding and Python examples.

Develop and play a rock, paper, scissors game on the BBC micro:bit using block coding and Python, with shake gestures, a random 1–3 choice, and if/else logic to display icons.

Build a compass with the micro bit magnetometer and calibrate by tilting to read the compass heading. Map angles to directions and implement in Python.

Explore a BBC micro bit that uses block coding and Python to build a digital counter: press A to increment, B to decrement, reset to zero, and display the number.
