Micro:bit lesson 9 has no exemplars

CS Discoveries Unit and Lesson Discussion
1

First year using the micro:bits. I thought, okay, cool… Code.org has a whole 9 lesson unit on there dealing with the micro:bits. Should go fine…

Now that I’m preparing though, I noticed that the last lesson, where they have the BIG PROJECT and thus the part that will be the most confusing… has no exemplars. All the exemplars were for the OTHER circuit boards, NOT the micro:bits.

AARRRGGGHHH!

Why on Earth would they give examples and code that neither I or the students can use?

Anyone have any good examples of projects that I can use as exemplars for the Code.org micro:bit mini-unit?

Or should I just build them off of the Microsoft version?

Unfortunately, there are no exemplars for the Micro:bit projects - I wish I could tell you why, but I don’t really know. Most teachers use sample projects found on the Microsoft or across the web. If you search Micro:bit on the forum, there are some projects that people have shared, but not a lot of them.
