The primary objective was to cultivate proficiency in programming concepts,engineering design, and computational thinking while employing Python and the Micro:Bitplatform to construct a functional Morse code machine as their final class project. This hands-onproject bridged the gap between theory and application, rendering abstract concepts tangible andfostering a deeper understanding of programming principles. Students were also required toapply programming knowledge to interface with sensors and actuators present in the Micro:Bitplatform.Overall, students engaged in a multifaceted learning experience, combining both theoretical andpractical elements.
