What if you could add lights, sound, motion, and sensors to electronic wearables, toys, or creatures you created? In this class, you’ll get to make programmable projects that are fun, useful, or just for show!

This class is for students who have completed BOTS 1 (Build BOTS) or Intro to MakeCode. If you have not taken either of these classes, you must contact the instructor for permission to take this class.

We’ll explore new ways to work with the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express using free, online, block-based Microsoft MakeCode software. As you design and build your projects, you’ll learn to document your work like scientists and engineers do. At the end, you’ll get to showcase your favorite projects. Will you put on a talent show, hold a parade, create an art exhibition? You (and the class) decide!

Classes last about 90 minutes, including time for building. Written materials will help you follow along and keep working on your project between classes if you choose.

A note on supplies: In addition to the electronics you already have from BOTS 1/Build BOTS, you may want to add some additional servo motors and lights — see the class supply list for more details.
