    This document introduces the Micro:bit Tinker Kit and its components. It then outlines 4 activities for students to complete using sensors from the kit: 1) A music broadcast buzzer that plays Happy Birthday, 2) A crash detector that displays a rectangle or heart based on a crash sensor, 3) A smart light that turns on when motion is detected, and 4) An intruder detection system that sounds an alarm and displays a status on an OLED screen when a door opens. The goals are for students to learn about sensors, their applications, and how to connect the Micro:bit to extension modules to create simple smart devices.

    3.1 Introduction to Micro:bit
    Tinker Kit
    What is the Micro:bit Tinker Kit?
    ElecFreaks Mico:bit Tinker Kit is a set of Micro:bit accessories that enables you
    to connect to all kinds of sensors and modules easily without a group of
    messy wires.

    This allows us to perform more functions with the Micro:bit.

    Label the parts of the kit below:

    The Breakout Board

    The Breakout Board has rows of Ground, Voltage and Signal pins (‘GVS’).
    Each Signal pin is paired with a Voltage and Ground pin so that modules can
    be plugged directly.
    These pins are differentiated by different colours which enables you to
    connect your extension modules easily.

    The board also exposes I2C in a pinout that allows you to directly plug OLD
    display.

    3.2 Creating Smart Devices

    Recap: What is a Smart Device?


    A smart device is an electronic device that is able to connect, share and
    interact with user.

    Often, sensors are used alongside with smart devices to take in data
    (input), process the information and then the device would carry out the
    instructions (output).
