    Step 7.2  Making a Step Counter

                                ∑   In Input, drag On shake block.

                                ∑   Use a variable to store the step count.
                                ∑   Each time Micro:bit shakes, increase the count by 1.

                                ∑   Display the step count on the LED screen.

                                Extra Challenge:

                                ∑   Adjust the sensitivity so that it only counts actual steps.
