Computers do a great job of counting and keeping track of numbers. Let’s put that strength to good use and build a physical stomp counter using the BBC micro:bit and the Code-a-Key backpack! Let’s get physical with our computing projects! Makey Makey
If you have never built a stomp switch before, don’t worry about it, we have
Sometimes pressing a button is just too much! What if you could use light to control your mouse clicks, press a key or better yet… make music on your computer! Using the Code-a-Key backpack with the micro:bit, we can do just that… build a flashlight piano! This project focuses on creating a light-controlled piano, but

You can easily light an LED with a 3V coin-cell battery, but it’s pretty cool to learn how to light an LED with Makey Makey. It will encourage your students to find interesting ways to build switches that will light up their work. First, turn over your Makey Makey and look for the top header on the back of the board.
To figure out what ohm resistor you need, you have to use Ohm’s Law.
Makey Mouse Backpack What if you could make a mouse out of cheese? The Makey Mouse Backpack breaks out your mouse controls to “gator bitesâ€� so you can easily clip to fun items for unique drag-and-drop experiences. The Makey Mouse Backpack breaks out the four directions of mouse movement (up, down, left, right) as well
We have built a few example projects to get you going, but we know that any Makey
