Edublog post #1 of our microbit project

Since I have a little bit of Microbit experience from Middle school, I had a little bit of on idea on what to do. I knew that the microbit had a sound output, so Ateeq and I thought about making an alarm when a person walks into a house without permission. We also thought about people that are really lazy and their fridges are too far away. This led us to think of a robot that can act as a car to carry snacks to you from the fridge. However, we encountered a lot of problems, such as how would the robot open the door, so we scrapped the idea. We also talked about how one of the biggest problems people have is when their alarm doesn’t go off in the morning. This made us think of a machine that vibrates at a predetermined time. We liked this idea because some people are such deep sleepers that sound doesn’t work, but a vibrating machine would activate the nerves and coax the person out of sleep easier. None of these ideas really jumped out at us though, so we decided to leave it like this and maybe we would think of a better idea in our next post.
