* Deleting blocks - Click on the 'forever' block and drag it left to the Toolbox area. You should see a garbage can icon appear. Let go of the block and it should disappear. You can drag any block back to the Toolbox area to delete it from the coding workspace. You can also remove a block from your coding window by selecting the block and then pressing the "delete" key on your keyboard (or command-X on a mac). * Deleting blocks - Click on the 'forever' block and drag it left to the Toolbox area.

## Commenting your code ## Commenting your code
It is good practice to add comments to your code. Comments can be useful in a number of ways. Comments can help you remember what a certain block of code does and/or why you chose to program something the way you did. Comments also help others reading your code to understand these same things. It is good practice to add comments to your code. Comments can be useful in a number of ways.

The micro:bit was created in 2015 in the UK by the BBC to teach computer science to students. The BBC gave away a micro:bit to every Year 7 student in the UK. You can think of a micro:bit as a mini computer. The micro:bit was created in 2015 in the UK by the BBC to teach computer science to students.

1. The Processor this is usually a small chip inside the computer, and its how the computer processes and transforms information. Has anyone heard of the term “CPU”? CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. You can think of the processor as the Brains of the computer - the faster the processor, the more quickly the computer can think. 1.

# Project: Fidget Cube # Project: Fidget Cube
![Sample fidget cube](/static/courses/csintro/algorithms/fidgetcube.jpg)
A fidget cube is a little cube with something different that you can manipulate on each surface. There are buttons, switches, and dials, and people who like to “fidget” find it relaxing to push, pull, press, and play with it. In this project, students are challenged to turn the micro:bit into their very own “fidget cube”. A fidget cube is a little cube with something different that you can manipulate on each surface.
