# Making with micro:bit This lesson introduces the design thinking process as a way to design something that meets someone else's needs. By focusing on building the micro:bit into a pysical object, you'll gain experience in working with a piece of hardware that has a specific size and weight, and that needs to be supported and held securely. ![micro:bit board](/static/courses/csintro/making/microbit-board.png) ## Lesson objectives You will... * Exercise creativity and resourcefulness by coming up with ideas for using simple household materials to accommodate the micro:bit’s size and weight in many different ways. * Test and iterate using different materials and sizes in order to create an optimal design to house the micro:bit and battery pack. * Learn how to download programs and move them to the micro:bit file to run on the micro:bit. * Use the design thinking process to develop an understanding for a problem or user need. * Apply your understanding in a creative way by making a “micro:pet” creature. ## Lesson plan * [**Introduction**: The micro:bit is for making](/courses/csintro/making/introduction) * [**Activity**: MakeCode download](/courses/csintro/making/activity) * [**Project**: micro:pet (including mods and rubric)](/courses/csintro/making/project) ## Related standards [Targeted CSTA standards](/courses/csintro/making/standards)
