Assignment Use one development board (arduino, microbit …) and use it to sense something in your class (noise / light / movement) and produce some kind of response (audio, light, movement)

In your documentation, describe briefly your project; name the board you are using, as well as the sensor and actuator; Explain what you are measuring and how you are using the actuators; if you are using external components, draw a simple diagram on how they are connected and finally provide your code (or link to your code). Include several pictures of your project. If possible you can include a video.

In addition, please, answer following reflection questions:

Did you bring several disciplines together in your own teaching? Do you collaborate with teachers in other disciplines? What are the opportunities and challenges.

How do you envision a makerspace in your school? How does it look like? If you have one already, how would you modify it.

After the definiton of computational thinking? Are you somehow using computational thinking in your teaching? How? Do you think you can take advantage of computational thinking? How?

Tasks in the Fab Lab Have a look to any of the basic physical computing programming from Technical Guides and tutoring sessions With the help of your instructor set up development environment and run a Hello World in the chosen platform Explore with the instructor different options for sensing (receive data) and actuating (produce an effect in the environment)
