In this lesson, students will refer to their sketches and budget as they create prototypes for their project with Micro:bits. This lesson includes examples and tips for creating a prototype with Micro:bits, but this is a great opportunity for students to be creative and dedicate a good amount of time making a polished Micro:bit experience. Remember that students should only work on the project they selected (a student that chose project 3B will only use the presentation and worksheet for 3B).
