1. BBC Microbit

2. Objective of the lesson
Use Block Editor to make electronic dice
All of you will:
Shake the Microbit to create a random number 0 to 5
Most of you will:
Display dice images for numbers 1 to 6
Some of you will:
Create different dice e.g. an 8 sided dice

3. Electronic Dice 2
Program the Microbit so that when it is shaken a dice image comes up randomly
Add an ‘on shake’ loop
Add a variable called item
Change the name of the variable to be RandomNumber

4. Set the RandomNumber variable to be either 0,1,2,3,4,5
An If do, else condition

5. Add if RandomNumber = 0
This will show the dice image of the number six
(because we do not have a random number 6)

6. Click on the cog and add in an ‘else if’. If the RandomNumber = 1
It should display the dice image of a 1

7. Challenge
Continue to add else if statements in for the remaining numbers
Modify the code so that the dice only shows numbers 1,2 or 3
Modify the code so that the dice only shows numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 or 8
