                 CREATING A PROJECT

                 To create a project, visit this link: https://
                 makecode.microbit.org.  Then,  click  on
                 the New Project button.
                 Give your project a name and click on

                 Create.
                 Select and drag the blocks from the left
                 side to the Workspace area and combine

                 them to make meaningful programs.

                 RUNNING A PROJECT

                 After we are done creating our project, we need to simulate or test it before we can upload it to a
                 micro:bit. The simulator is used for this purpose and works exactly like a physical micro:bit.
























                 Notice the simulator on the left displaying the number 5 as instructed by the blocks on the right.


                 SAVING A PROJECT

                 All work done in the Makecode editor is saved automatically without the need to do it manually.
                 You can access all your projects from the Homepage.
