Attach a battery pack to your micro:bit and connect it to Scratch, then attach it to a soft toy. Protect the micro:bit so that it doesn’t get damaged if you drop it! This program uses the micro:bit’s accelerometer to sense when it’s been thrown up in the air and makes the Scratch cat sprite jump at the same time. At the same time the sprite also changes colour, makes a meow sound and changes makes the pitch of the sound higher each time you throw it. It uses the glide block to make Scratch jump to the part of the screen each time, and then go back down again in a sequence.
Inspired by an awesome micro:bit demo given by Kreg of the Scratch team.
