You have built games, a website, micro:bit programs, and even trained an AI model. Today you pick one thing you already care about (another subject, a hobby, a local issue) and build something small that connects coding to it.

By the end you will have a short working build that shows data, interactivity, or a short coded performance, and you will show classmates one thing it does and why it matters to you.

Rules

• Connect coding to another subject or something you care about.
• Show data (a reading, a score, a count, a chart), interactivity (buttons, sensors, input that changes what happens), or a short coded performance (a tune, a drawing the pen makes).
• One feature only. Keep it small enough to finish today.

Four starter ideas if you want a launch pad:

1. micro:bit environment station (needs kit): read light or temperature and show it, useful for science or geography fieldwork. Minimum version: show one light reading on the LED matrix.
2. Scratch make-a-song (quick start): use notes or loops that match a music or Irish-language rhyme you know. Minimum version: one short four-note hook.
3. Scratch pen art (quick start): draw a pattern or crest linked to art, maths shapes, or a club badge. Minimum version: one shape or crest outline drawn by the pen.
4. Body-controlled game (needs webcam or model): use a pose or image model so movement steers something, good for PE or accessibility ideas. Minimum version: one pose moves a sprite left or right.

Build your small project now.

1. Write one line at the top of a comment, note, or page title: what it connects to (for example "science: classroom light levels" or "music: a four-note hook").
2. Build the core feature first until it runs: a reading on screen, a sound that runs, a drawing that appears, or an input that changes something.
3. By halfway, your core feature must run once. If not, cut scope to the starter's smallest version.
