    specific LEDs. This introduces the concept of how grids of LEDs can be

                        programmed to create different patterns.

                        • Basic Programming and Logic: Students will use block-based coding
                        (on platforms like MakeCode) to instruct the micro:bit on which emotion

                        badge to display. They will learn about programming loops, conditions,
                        and  input/output  control  as  they  assign  different  icons  to  different

                        buttons or actions on the micro:bit.

                     Observations

                     In  the  Display  Emotion  Badges  using  Micro:bit  activity,  students  will
                     observe  how  they  can  interact  with  the  micro:bit  by  pressing  buttons

                     or tilting the device, and in response, the micro:bit will display different
                     emotion icons. They will notice how coding helps automate this process,

                     making  the  micro:bit  display  the  appropriate  badge  when  a  specific
                     condition is met (e.g., pressing a button to display a happy face). This

                     reinforces the idea of how computers take inputs, process information,
                     and generate outputs.

                                                                                       HELLO!                  LOL
                     Application

                     Emojis in messaging app help you show how                             No!          I    YOU

                     you  are  feeling  without  needing  to  type
                     words.  Instead  of  saying  you  are  happy,                     I miss you             OMG

                     sad, or confused, you can simply choose an
                     emoji, like        for happy,          for sad, or                      Cool!        Sorry

                     for thinking. This makes it easier to share
                     your emotions quickly and adds a personal                         IDK                     Wow!

                     touch to your messages.
