Learning Goals Learning Outcomes Teacher Notes

1 - Brainstorm Your Project

Think about what you want to create. It could be a game, a tool, or anything else you can imagine. Sketch your idea and write down what you want your project to do.

2 - Plan Your Code

Before you start coding, plan out your code. Write pseudocode or draw a flowchart to map out how your code will work. Remember to include variables, data types, operators, conditional statements, and switch statements where necessary.

3 - Start Coding

Now it's time to start coding! Go to the makecode microbit editor and start translating your plan into JavaScript. Don't worry if you don't get it right the first time, coding is all about trial and error.

4 - Test Your Project

Once you've finished coding, test your project. Make sure it works as expected. If it doesn't, debug your code and try again. Remember, perseverance is key in coding!

5 - Reflect on Your Work

After you've finished testing, reflect on your work. What went well? What was challenging? What would you do differently next time? Write down your thoughts for future reference.
