This project is similar to micro:bit to catch a thief but includes more detail on circuit electricity. The children make their own pressure sensor.
An introduction to electronics (this should come after the children have studied simple series and parallel circuits).
To demonstrate how a variety of components can be combined together to create an electronic system.
This project also shows how electronic systems can be linked to computers and, by extension, the Internet of Things.
