Welcome to the prototype introduction!

  • Building
  • Coding

In the next section, you’ll build a project to learn about the Smart Component!

This project will use:

  • LED Sensor
  • Touch Sensor
  • Breakout Board

You’ll find the steps for building this project in the Makecode Tutorial in the next section.

In the coding part of this project, you will use a Makecode tutorial. The tutorial will give you the start of the code, and you’ll follow the steps to change the LED color.

Description: There’s an “if” statement for when the ‘Touch’ is pressed. This sets the LEDs to a color, pauses, and then turns them back to black.

Key Concepts:

  • Inputs
  • Algorithms
  • Debugging
  • Conditional Statements
  • Sequence Events

How can these parts be used with items in your classroom to create something that tracks pollinators?
