• What makes a still image appear to move?
CREATE
• Use the tutorial: mbit.io/tutorial-beating-
heart
• Build as a class or individually.
EVALUATE
• Transfer the code to the micro:bit and observe
the animation.
EXTEND
• Try animating other shapes like a diamond or
square.
• Experiment with timing.
SHARE
• Show and explain the animations created.
• Preview next project: Emotion Badge.
EXERCISES
• 1. Create a pulsing square animation.
