Rakshitt stood confidently in front of his classmates, ready to show them his newest creation—a math quiz game built with a micro:bit. “Hello, everyone! My name is Rakshitt, I’m ten years old and love origami, Legos, and puzzles,” he began, showing a picture of himself on the slides.
On the screen, he demonstrated the game’s features. “If you press button A, the micro:bit gives you an addition question. Button B gives you subtraction. Shake the micro:bit, and you’ll get multiplication. Press both buttons for division. Each time, the screen shows a problem, waits for ten seconds, then displays the answer with fun sounds.”
The code behind the project included built-in Python functions like print, sleep, and display.scroll, which told the micro:bit what to do next. Rakshitt explained how he coded separate functions for each type of math question, randomly choosing numbers and calculating answers on the fly. “The quiz challenges you to think quickly and learn math in a playful way,” he said.
When a classmate asked what inspired him, Rakshitt replied, “I wanted a project that mixed coding and puzzles, because both interest me. I chose a map quiz game that could make math exciting and interactive for everyone.”
From the audience, children pressed buttons and shook the micro:bit, watching as different math problems appeared and answers popped up with music and lights. Rakshitt beamed with pride as the room filled with applause.
His project not only tested math skills but showed how technology, creativity, and curiosity could make learning more fun. Rakshitt’s map quiz brought joy and excitement to math, proving that with imagination, anyone can create games that teach and entertain—all with a little code and lots of heart.
