Educator Note: You can revisit the onboarding course to receive a walk-through of everything that’s included in the Climate Action Kit and how all the components work. To access the course, click here.
By building your own wind turbine, you will have the opportunity to learn about sustainable energy and technology using the micro:bit, the Building Blocks and the Climate Action Kit. This project is a great way to understand how technology can be used to reduce our reliance on non-renewable sources of energy and combat climate change.
Using the steps below, you are going to build and code a simulated wind turbine that you can turn on/off and control the direction of using the dial component.
