3. Maze Game

Move the micro:bit to guide a dot through a

maze on the LED screen. Tilting the micro:bit
moves the dot, and you have to find your way

out of the maze without hitting the walls.

Exploring the Coding Platform

The coding platform is where you write the instructions that tell the

micro:bit what to do. It’s like giving the micro:bit a list of tasks to follow.

Introduction to IDE Used to Program Microbit

To program the micro:bit, we use an IDE (Integrated Development
Environment), which is a special tool that helps us write and test our

code. The most popular IDE for micro:bit is Microsoft MakeCode.

Microsoft MakeCode

Microsoft MakeCode is a free, open-source platform for creating STEM
activities into real world programming. We can do Block based coding

and textual in MakeCode. All the projects save automatically in Microsoft
MakeCode. It’s easy to use.
