How computers sense the world? (using Micro:Bit)
A youthworkshop from EMF 2024 by Vincent Lee
On Friday May 31, 2024 at – in Unnamed Village
Ever wondered how your phone knows when you turn it upside down or when you're moving around counting your every step? Well in this workshop we'll take a peak into the world of sensors and how they work and what they are used for.
We'll use the BBC Microbit which is a tiny computer along with Python/Makecode to store what it sees, then using code we'll create graphs that can allow us to understand what the Microbit is seeing.
In this workshop you'll learn:
- What sensors the BBC Microbit has
- How to store/log data coming off of the Microbit's sensors
- How to create graphs and other ways of seeing the information
This workshop is taking place in The Unnamed Village. We're in the middle of camping area G - https://map.emfcamp.org/#18.41/52.040788...
