Today's @microbit.org project is a proximity beacon📡. You can hide one micro:bit and use another to find it. A nice graph appears on the recieving micro:bit. I've use this as a treasure hunt.

As it is @mathsweek.scot I have put together a few ideas for using the @microbit.org in Maths. Including creating dice, counters, a times tables tester and using the data logging features. #MathsWeekScot

As it's @mathsweek.scot today's @microbit.org project is a times tables tester 😃. On button A it will randomly generate a times table question and on button B reveal the answer. Great to practice times tables in a different way. #MathsWeekScot

Today's project for my @microbit.org tutorial is a clap counter 👏. This uses the microphone to increase the number when it hears a loud sound 🔊.
