Yr4 Handwashing challenge - Improve your code

Can you make a program that will tell people how long they have washed their hands?

This week you need to continue to build and test your program.  Make sure it passes the three design tests.

Requirements:

Handsfree Device - we do not want to touch anything

  1. Light sensitive switch

  2. Sunlight control


Accurate timer - we need to wash for 20 seconds 

Display the time counting down


Start and Stop markers - we need to tell the user when the time is finished

Notification that the time has elapsed

This week please share your progress so we can give you some support and feedback.

 Good Luck Yr4

    1. Hi Peyton - You will need to do some troubleshooting. Have you used a Forever Loop? I'd the value correct for light level? Please share what you have made in Seesaw (Publish + Share from Makecode) and we can try to support you.

      1. Hi Jiho- That is a shame - you can download the programs as a backup to save them.
