# Project: Boolean
![Two-Player Game Example Board](/static/courses/csintro/booleans/two-player.jpg)
This is an assignment for students to come up with a micro:bit program that uses Boolean variables, Boolean operators, and possibly the random function.

## Reflection
Have students write a reflection of about 150300 words, addressing the following points:
* How did you incorporate boolean variables into your micro:bit program?
* How did you incorporate boolean operators into your micro:bit program?
* Describe something in your project that you are proud of.
* If you had more time to work on this project, describe what you might add or change.
