CHALLENGE CHAIN

You are designing a step counter using the Micro:bit. The accelerometer senses
movement, but you notice that the step count is increasing even when you are not
walking. What could be causing this issue? Explain.

ROCK–PAPER–SCISSORS

The Rock–Paper–Scissors is a fun hand game usually played between two people.
Each player quickly chooses one of three options, rock, paper or scissors, at the

same time. The rules are simple:
n Rock beats scissors

n Scissors beat paper

n Paper beats rock

With the Micro:bit, you can recreate this game digitally. Instead of using your hands,
the Micro:bit randomly selects rock, paper or scissors and shows the result on its LED
display. The Micro:bit uses its accelerometer sensor in this game. When you shake

the Micro:bit, the accelerometer detects the movement and triggers the program to
choose a random option. This makes the game interactive and fun, just like playing

it in real life.

If your Micro:bit project collects data from the
environment, what rules should you follow to make sure
people’s privacy is protected?

Create a Rock–Paper–Scissors Game

In this activity, you will make a fun Rock–Paper–Scissors game using the Micro:bit.
When you shake the Micro:bit, it will randomly show one of the three symbols, rock,
paper or scissors, on its LED display. This project helps you learn how to use the

accelerometer sensor to detect motion and generate random outputs.
