Create a simple animation to learn about sequence and simple loops.

Key learning:

  • Understand that sequence and timing is important when making an animation.
  • Understand that animations create an illusion of movement by showing a sequence of still images.
  • Code the micro:bit to show simple animations on its LED display output.
  • Use loops to make animations run longer using fewer instructions.
