The Gesture Based Game

MoonCampaign by Ava (10 years)

My name is Ava, and I’m 11 years old. I study at Mill Creek Elementary in Washington. My project is called the Gesture-Based Game, which uses the micro:bit’s accelerometer to detect motion. When you tilt the micro:bit to the left, the LED dot moves to the left side and returns to the center when it faces up. Tilting it right moves the dot to the opposite side. The dot’s quick movement reacts exactly to the player’s gestures, creating an interactive game. This project helped me explore how sensors, motion, and logic can make programming fun and responsive.

All about Ava project

Ava loved learning new things, especially when it came to technology. As a fifth grader who read fantasy books and played cello, she always looked for creative ways to combine logic and imagination. One day, she thought, “What if I make a game that you can play just by moving your hands?” That idea became her project—The Gesture-Based Game.

She started by studying the micro:bit’s accelerometer—the sensor that detects movement. “If I tilt left, the micro:bit should know it,” she said, typing her code carefully. Soon, she made the LED dot move left when tilted that way, right when tilted the other way, and return to the center when held upright. It was simple, smooth, and surprisingly fun.
