# 📟 Micro:bit Basics (BGE)

They will use block-based or simple code to create interactive programs using inputs, outputs and logic.

***

### ⌨️ **Input**

**Input** is how the micro:bit receives data.\
This can come from buttons, sensors, or user actions.

Examples include:

* Pressing button A or B
* Shaking the micro:bit
* Detecting temperature or light

***

### ⚙️ **Process**

**Process** is where the micro:bit works with the data it receives.\
It might make a calculation or decide what should happen next.

### 🖥️ **Output**

**Output** is how the micro:bit shows results.\
This is usually through the LED display, sounds, or connected components.

Examples include:

* Displaying images or text
* Showing numbers
* Turning on LEDs

***

### 🔀 **Selection**

**Selection** allows the micro:bit to make decisions.\
It chooses what to do based on conditions.

Example:

* If button A is pressed, show a smiley face
* Else, show a sad face

***

### 🧭 **Sequencing**

**Sequencing** means instructions are carried out in the correct order.\
The order of blocks or code affects how the program works.

***

### 🔄 **Iteration**

**Iteration** means repeating instructions.\
On the micro:bit, this is often done using loops like “forever”.

***

### 🎮 **Mini Project**

Now it’s time to bring everything together.

Create a micro:bit program that uses:

* Input (e.g. button press or shake)
* Process (making a decision or calculation)
* Output (displaying something on the screen)
* Selection
* Sequencing
* Iteration

➡️ *Insert project video here*
