Students will...
* Understand what booleans and boolean operators are, and why and when to use them in a program.
* Learn how to create a boolean, set the boolean to an initial value, and change the value of the boolean within a micro:bit program.
* Learn how to use the random true or false block.
* Apply the above knowledge and skills to create a unique program that uses booleans and boolean operators as an integral part of the program.
