This Halloween coding project will show your students how STEM and microbits work together in the most fun way around the Autumn holidays! If you need an activity for your Technology lessons that has a bit of DIY in it, a bit of beginner-level BBC micro:bit coding, a bit of engineering with crocodile clip cables and an LED, and lots of fun - this is the right resource for you! Let me save you some time that you can spend with your family (and still be an awesome teacher) - everything you might need is already included - printable materials, brief theoretical part, interesting background story about witches and Germanic runes, coding instructions, lots of pictures, teacher notes, answer keys. The main task is very beginner-friendly and uses only a few coding blocks, and after it there's 2 optional coding tasks that are for the more adventurous, advanced, fast students, using more complicated logic and more coding blocks. Preparation includes printing 2 pages per student/group, and making sure you have the things from the following list: Required materials (per student or per group of students doing the project together, you decide): Shoe box Scissors Glue 2x Crocodile clip cables 1x LED Micro:bit + battery cage + batteries + USB cable The printed materials from this resource – a cauldron picture + a witch background picture The activity is compatible with the following robots: Any microbit, both v.1 and v.2 will work Coding blocks used in the coding part: "forever" loop event, LED matrix animation, digital write pin - for the main task; if-else logical blocks, pick random number block, variable blocks - for the optional more complicated tasks Background story / theme of the resource: Halloween, runes, witches and magic Duration: 60-80 min Number of tasks included: 3 coding tasks: 1 main one, and 2 optional more complicated ones LEVEL of the activity: easy, great for beginners; after the main activity there's 2 more optional tasks included for the more proficient in coding students Check out all of my other microbit activities and lessons at my store.

By leveraging some of the micro:bit's components, we can get information about how much light is shining on it. For example, you can read the LEDs on the front to measure the amount of light falling on the front of the micro:bit. This functionality is available using JavaScript and PXT Blocks (MakeCode) or with MicroPy
