    1 - Planning Your Project

    Before you start coding, take some time to plan your project. What do you want your Microbit to do? Sketch out your ideas and write down the steps you think you'll need to take to make your project work.

    2 - Coding Your Project

    Now it's time to start coding! Use the skills you've learned in this course to create your project. Remember to test your code often to make sure it's working the way you want it to.

    Here's a simple example of a code that you might use to start your project:

    basic.forever(function () {
      led.plot(2, 2)
    })

    3 - Debugging Your Project

    If your project isn't working the way you want it to, don't worry! Debugging is a normal part of coding. Look through your code and try to find any mistakes. Remember, you can always refer back to previous lessons if you need help.

    4 - Finalizing Your Project

    Once your project is working the way you want it to, it's time to finalize it. Make sure your code is clean and organized. Then, write a short description of your project and what it does.

    This step is optional, if you have a Microbit device, you can download your project onto your device. To do this, click on the 'Download' button in the MakeCode editor and follow the instructions.
