New Guide: Game Clock with MakeCode and Circuit Playground

Looking for a few fun projects to do at home this week? We’ve got you covered. Dust off your Circuit Playground Express and have fun learning to code with this new Game Clock with Circuit Playground & MakeCode tutorial from Erin St. Blaine. From the guide:

Make a game clock with multiple timers using your Circuit Playground Express. It’s easy to get started with just the Circuit Playground itself, and lots more fun to add a NeoPixel strip and some custom switches and buttons using objects you can find around your house.

This is a great project for learning to code with MakeCode, with lots of customizations to play with. Easily change the timer duration, the colors and sounds for each player, and lots more. Keep your kids engaged and having fun as they learn programming basics.
