                  Output

                  In this activity, you will program a micro:bit to

                  function  as  a  simple  digital  thermometer.  The
                  built-in  temperature  sensor  on  the  micro:bit
                  will  measure  the  ambient  temperature  and

                  display it on the LED screen. The temperature
                  can be displayed in either Celsius or Fahrenheit,
                  depending on how you choose to program it. This

                  helps you understand how sensors work and how
                  data can be collected and displayed using technology.


                  Concept

                  1.  Temperature Measurement and Sensor Technology: You will learn how

                     the  micro:bit  uses  a  temperature  sensor  to  measure  the  surrounding
                     temperature. This introduces them to the concept of sensors in real life,

                     where data is collected from the environment and processed for practical
                     use, such as in weather forecasting or air conditioning systems.

                  2.  Data Representation and  Display:  You  will  explore  how  collected
                     temperature  data  can  be  converted  into  numbers  and  displayed  on  the

                     micro:bit’s  LED grid.  This  concept  helps you  understand  the  connection
                     between raw data and how it is presented in a readable format. They can
                     also explore different units of measurement, like Celsius and Fahrenheit.
