What is a Microbit?

By
Hello everyone today I will be talking about a coding board the Microbit. This coding board is from the U.K. It is pretty much a Europe version of the kid bright and smaller. So let me explain the Microbit is really small and only has a few LED lights and 3 buttons though there are a few advantages and disadvantages for the Microbit. Let's start with the advantages first.


 So the Microbit is a lot smaller than the kid bright and since it is a lot smaller than the kid bright it can be used as a wearable watch. Since it is smaller than the kid bright it doesn't mean that it can do less things than the kid bright. They both can do multiple things and are both very similar. Like for example, they both have a LED screen and they both have 3 buttons. The Microbit can be able to play on the website so you don't have to download anything unlike the kid bright. The kid bright does have a simulator though. There are free tutorials on the website or the app on how to make codes and games. You can make advance things like cars or robots by watching people make them on Youtube or websites. It has a tilt sensor so that means you can shake it and do other things cool with that.
Next is the disadvantages of the Microbit. So first you can't really draw a lot of detailed pictures or really big pictures with the LED screen on the Microbit. The buttons are really small. Since the board is small the buttons are also small and they are really small. They are not too small until it is like unpressable, but all I am saying is that if you have big hands you have the ability to literally BREAK or DESTROY this board with a push of a finger. Speaking of DESTROYING things coding boards are really easy to break. They can break by water or by hand.



There are many things you can do with the Microbit. Like for example a duct tape watch or step counter, Robots or cars or make your own rock paper scissors game with the tilt sensor that is in the board. Anyways that is all I am going to talk about today bye!

How to make a countdown number - Kidbright

By
Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about how to make a countdown number in Kid-Bright. You might not know what I will be talking about, I had to write about this so let's just start! First, go to the software and drag the forever block and get the set to block as well. You don't have to change it, but you can if you want. Get the LED 2 chars block and put the block that lets you print or tell what to say not literally, but just like tells you what it is trying to tell you or speak to you or something. So anyways you write what you want on the block and then get the if do block and the = block. Next, get the switch 1 block from the sensor topic and the number block from the math topic. Next, get the repeat (while) block from the loop topic. Get the = block and 1 number block and change it to 0 and the X block in Math. Get another set x to block and a + block from math and another x and number block. Get the LED 2 chars block and put ANOTHER x block and last, but not

making a video for my school project

By
Hello everyone! Today I will talk about Cooking! So the title might sound a bit off, but my school has this project for everyone in the school to do it is called "English Zone". So my computer teacher said that we had to make a cooking video also one more thing about the English Zone project it's that we HAVE to speak in English like no absolute Thai at all anyways. So I made a cooking video cause my teacher said so I made a video on how to make Yorkshire pudding. Yorkshire pudding is a dish that is from the U.K. There are many recipes on how to make Yorkshire pudding I used a recipe that used olive oil and less flour. It didn't turn out well or taste well..... ANYWAYS!! At least I made the video! The video was the most important. the ingredients in order to make Yorkshire pudding is flour, milk, eggs, salt and olive oil if you want to make look it up. So anyways it is hard to make it though. You can eat this with steak, fries, coffee and etc. It's easy to make an
