An avatar is a logo or image that can be used to represent you.

Design your avatar. Find the create image block and use it to draw your avatar by ticking the boxes.

Step 2

Add your avatar to the code of your digital name badge. Use a new block to do so – the show image block.

Hint: the show image block is quite Advanced

Here’s how your finished code might look:

Test it on the simulator and on your micro:bit.

Step 3

Why not try to change your code? Here are some ideas.

• When it starts up, the badge will scroll showing your first name

• When the A button on the front is pressed it will show your avatar

• When the B button on the front is pressed it will show your surname

Think about the types of blocks you'll need. You might find some helpful blocks in the 'input' palette.
