• Executes forever

• Let’s try an example:

• Multiple other kinds of loops available


• Similar to scratch
Coding Blocks: On button # pressed
• Defines the behaviour of button press
• A, B and A+B press events available

• Let’s try an example:


Coding Blocks: acceleration (x, y, z)
• Gives a measure of movement in the x, y, and z planes

• Allows measurement of the micro:bit’s tilted

• Let’s try an example:


• Code the program on the next slide
Coding Blocks: On Shake
