Blooming Flowers with Micro:bit Motors (Launching Jan 2023)
Please note – this workshop will be launching in January 2023. Information on this page may change.
In "Blooming Flowers with Micro:bit Motors", students will engage in the design cycle while they work towards building and coding a flower structure that, via servo motor, "blooms" when the micro:bit is exposed to light.
This workshop will have students tinkering from the moment they sit down! After a discussion about how plants respond to different stimuli, students will be challenged to explore and code a servo motor attached to a micro:bit. They can then incorporate this movement into a flower that they will build out of straws, connectors, and paper so that when fully assembled, will appear to bloom when a bright light is shone on the micro:bit light sensors. |
