New Fidgets

Our latest design challenge was to create a "fidget" with at least three inputs and three outputs.  Students were given the choice of using either the Microbit or the Circuit Playground Express.  It was a lot of fun to see what they came up with...many upcycled their old stuffed animals!

Circuit Playground (Express)

After spending some time programming Micro:bits with block coding on Makecode.org, I introduced out new Circuit Playgrounds.  We just received a set of 20 for the Design Tech classroom from Williston's Family As Partners.  The students were so excited to see how the CPs could take their programming to the next level.  Lots of excitement for the built in speakers and sound and light sensors!  I can't wait to see what they create with them for our next challenge!
