    n Health and wellbeing: Using the motion sensor, students can make a step counter
                         (pedometer) or a happy watch that shows cheerful messages or patterns on the
                         LED display.

                         n Assistive tools: Micro:bit can help people communicate. For example, Button

                         A could show a happy face and Button B a sad face for those who can’t speak
                         easily.

                         n Games and fun tools: Students  can make  a digital  dice,  a timer  or even
                         multiplayer games by connecting two Micro:bits using radio signals.

                         n Safety and security: With its motion sensor, the Micro:bit can be used as a simple
                         alarm that flashes lights or makes a sound when it detects movement.

                      STEP COUNTER (PEDOMETER)

                      A step counter, also called a pedometer, is a simple

                      device used to count the number of steps a person
                      takes while walking or running. It helps people stay
                      active and keep track of their daily movement.

                      A pedometer is a small electronic device that detects
                      motion or movement using a built-in sensor. Each time
                      you take a step, the sensor senses the movement and

                      adds one to the total count. It helps people monitor
                      their physical activity and stay healthy by keeping track of how much they walk

                      each day.

                      How Micro:bit Counts Steps?

                      The Micro:bit  has a built-in  accelerometer  sensor

                      that can detect movement, such as shaking, tilting or
                      walking. When you move while holding the Micro:bit,
                      the accelerometer senses the change in motion and

                      sends that information to the Micro:bit’s program.

                      By using this sensor, you can make a step counter,
                      every  time  the  Micro:bit  detects  movement  like  a

                      step, it adds one to the total count and shows the number on its LED display.
