In G4 @EdTech_ISF, we #upskilled 220 Ss in preparation for their #EngineeringCycle #PBL to leverage @microbit_edu #coding in their projects
To practice, Ss created a small #microbit project solving a personal problem with #microbit & @elecfreaks LED strip/360° servo

The word innovation gets thrown around a lot in education
@EdTech_ISF, we prefer to show rather than tell
👏to all involved in making these projects come to life

These G5 Ss interviewed an elderly woman who has trouble walking at nighttime with her cane & many items
Using an LED strip & radio function on @microbit_edu, they’ve created a cane that lights up & sends an alarm when a button on the cane is pressed (in an emergency)

Grade 5 Ss working on their memory game “World Cup Finals” prototype for their #EngineeringCycle #PBL
When a goal is scored, you need to add 1 point to your score (10 points wins the game). Also players need to remember previous scores when multiple games are played (tournament)
