Let's Get Hacking

Countdown Counter (II)

Use loops to repeat a set of block 100 thousand times!

Reaction timer

To learn how to use the Infrared(IR) receiver and IR transmitter. To learn use the OLED.

Waving fortune cat

Make a Maneki-neko, or Fortune Cat, using the Micro:bit! The ADKeypad moves its hands.

Space Shooter

Create a simple space shooter game where you have to shoot and avoid falling projectiles.

Intruder Detector

Create an Intruder Detection system with the Micro:bit which will sound when someone opens the door. The status of the house will be displayed on the OLED.

The Higher Lower Game

Build a simple math game where you can guess if the next number is higher or lower than the one shown on the micro:bit now.

Recluse Bot

Build a reclusive robot that makes a sound anytime it is toggled, touched or when it detects motion

Fish Feeder

Create a fish feeding machine! Two red buttons on ADKeyboard will control the movement of the servo, and a message will always be displaying on the OLED, showing the status of the servo.

Step Counter (II)

Put our micro:bit’s memory to work by using variables to create a device that counts our steps.

Arduino Fairy Lights

Fairy lights that light up when the PIR sensor is triggered!

Temperature and Light Sensor

To display the intensity of light and temperature and determining if it is a good day to sleep in.

MissileDodge

Create your very own simple but addictive game with just a micro:bit! Dodge the dropping missiles to survive and achieve new high scores! The pace of the game gets increasingly faster as you advance the ranks.

littleBits Chameleon

Create a cardboard chameleon with rotating eyes and blow out tongue with littleBits

Advanced Reaction Time Tester

Want to test your reaction time more reliably? Want to test other modes of reaction? Build this to be able to test both your auditory as well as your visual reaction time more accurately. This project uses TypeScript ONLY.

Avoid the Asteroids

Make your own little arcade game on the micro:bit, and admire it in all its 5x5 pixelated glory!

Encouragement Bot

Want to be a smart cookie and have your micro:bit acknowledge it? This tutorial will teach you how.

soil moisture sensor

Use a soil moisture sensor, that will produce a warning sound when soil moisture gets to low, as well as  a flashing LED, to inform the user to water the plant, also to use an OLED screen to display the value of soil moisture at appropriate intervals

Neopixel game

Make a game of speed and reaction time!!!

Maze Runner

Create a maze game on your Micro:bit! Use the ADKeypad to navigate through the maze.

Pong Game

Play the classic pong game with your friends!

Using The Microbit Playground Book

Learn how to get started with a copy of our Microbit Playground Book

Ultrasonic sensor game

Build a working game using 3 ultrasonic sensors as controls, on makecode micro:bit, using javascript. The game involves covering the correct ultrasonic sensor when the corresponding LED are lit up at the bottom (or second bottom when delay is very high) row of the LED screen of the micro:bit

Cardboard Automata

Build a simple mechanical sculpture that moves

Smart Light

Create a light that will only light up when someone is in the room using a PIR sensor.

Image memory game

Create an image memory game on the micro:bit

Don’t Steal My Pig! (Burglar Alarm)

Build a burglar alarm that is activated with a crash sensor and PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, producing warning music from a buzzer and animation on the LED display of the micro:bit. Create a model of a pig pen enclosure.

Evergreeting Diorama

Christmas Diorama: Tell a Christmas story with the multiple scenes you can choose from Chinese New Year: Paper Cutting and Couplet Writing activities to get you in the festive mood. Birthday Cake Celebration Diorama: Colour in your own cake and candles!

Mini Weather Station (II)

Create a mini weather station that measures the ambient environment. we will be using: (1) the in-built temperature sensor to detect the current temperature in degrees Celsius and (2) the in-built light sensor to measure the amount of light around the micro:bit

Scratch Pinball

Create a 2D pinball board on Scratch with semi-realistic physics and a micro:bit controller

Felt Art - Connecting Shapes

Find True North (II)

Use the in-built compass to make a basic digital compass that displays the current degrees away from North (0°)

Stopwatch

Create a working stopwatch!
