The Fundamentals of Computer Science class programmed Micro:bits using Python to create a simple step counter. The goal was to make the Micro:bit count the steps, when the steps count got to 25, it played a tone from the music library. They also incorporated code to use the buttons on the Micro:bit so when button A was pushed, the counter reset. And when button B was pushed, the Micro:bit displayed the total distance in feet that they walked.
