single micro:bit model from pack
fischertechnik
You can find various models of merry-go-rounds at public festivals and amusement parks. The first motor driven merry-go-round was placed in operation on January 1, 1863 in Bolton in England.
Task 1
The merry-go-round is to be started with the push-button switch . It is to rotate for 10 seconds and then stop.
Task 2
Just going in one direction is rather boring. Change the program so that it waits a second after the motor stops and then the merry-go-round turns in the other direction for 10 seconds.
See full online guide with micro:bit coding samples for the Merry-Go-Round model , plus extension activities.

This is a specially discounted package - delivered in a clear plastic bag.
Each pack comes with the bonus fischertechik storage base (box 250 x 186)
I/O board for micro:bit
micro:bit pins extension board, designed specially to take advantage of fischertechnik's unique, flexible red and green round plug cable connections. By design, the I/O board rubber legs slot into the fischertechnik black base-plate grid securely.
The price below is for 1 model out of the 12 models STEM II pack. If you want to build all 12 models, order the full STEM II pack instead.
To achieve fluency and competency in micro:bit coding, you really need to get a thorough understanding of each of the block catagories to be used in the Merry-Go-Round Model (see part 2 below for the full code). Fortunately, all the reference guides are available on the BBC micro:bit web site for you to get a deeper and more comprehensive understanding and mastery.
Through every fischertechnik STEM II models (12 of them), you can learn, practise, build fluency and confidence in coding.
The Merry-Go-Round Model used the following micro:bit blocks. You can click to lean more about each of the block catagories. The links bring you directly to the respective part of the BBC micro:bit reference document site, where live codes are included for you to understand, try, and download:
The following code has used all the mentioned blocks in Part 1 above.
