Edublog post #2 about our microbit project
In our first post, we talked about some ideas that we wrote down in our brainstorming session. None of the ideas really jumped out at us, so we decided to leave it there and see if we could think of a better idea. This better idea came to us in the form of a noise sensor. When the microbit detects that there’s no noise, it will turn off the lights in that room, saving energy. We thought that this would be important because people are forgetful and when people leave the lights on, it eats into our energy bill. Like I already mentioned, we’re going to make this idea a reality by using the noise sensor. The idea came to us because my parents are always on me about leaving my lights on in my room, and I just couldn’t seem to remember. When this project was presented to me, I thought that it would be the perfect opportunity to invent something to remedy my problem. We think that this invention will help a lot of people save money. Obviously we’re not going to sell it for money or anything, but we think it’s a cool idea that’s perfect for this type of assignment. We will get to work on building it after spring break because my science 9 class has not been visited by the microbit teachers yet, but I’m looking forward to it.
