# Making with micro:bit
|
||
|
||
This Lesson introduces the micro:bit as a piece of hardware that has a specific size and weight, and
|
||
generally must be supported and incorporated as an essential component of a tangible artifact. Focus
|
||
on incorporating the physical micro:bit into a basic making activity.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Lesson objectives
|
||
Students will...
|
||
|
||
* Exercise creativity and resourcefulness by coming up with ideas for using simple household materials to accommodate the micro:bit’s size and weight in many different ways.
|
||
* Test and iterate using different materials and sizes in order to create an optimal design to house the micro:bit and battery pack
|
||
* Learn how to download programs and move them to the micro:bit file to run on the micro:bit.
|
||
* Use the design thinking process to develop an understanding for a problem or user need.
|
||
* Apply their understanding in a creative way by making a “micro:pet” creature.
