Build a Micro:bit Cardboard ‘Pet’ | @microbit_edu #microbit #microbitlove #microbitmonday
From the NYSAIS STEAM Camp 2017, check out this easy, fun, and totally customizable cardboard ‘pet’ built with micro:bit, a simple servo motor, and a few other basic electronics and crafty bits. (Any project that relies on a popsicle stick and a paperclip is top notch in my book!)
