School Pick-up System Design with BBC Micro:bit
Design and program a system using the BBC Micro:bit for safe school pick-up where parents can collect their children securely. Ensure controlled access to the school premises with programmable technology. Develop features such as signaling parent arrival, gate access control, and child notification for pick-up. Follow step-by-step tasks to create and test the system on Micro:bit platform.

School Pick-up using the BBC micro:bit Designing and programming a school pick up system that parents can use to safely collect their children at the end of the school day
Stay safe Whether you are a scientist researching a new medicine or an engineer solving climate change, safety always comes first. An adult must always be around and supervising when doing this activity. You are responsible for: ensuring that any equipment used for this activity is in good working condition behaving sensibly and following any safety instructions so as not to hurt or injure yourself or others Please note that in the absence of any negligence or other breach of duty by us, this activity is carried out at your own risk. It is important to take extra care at the stages marked with this symbol:
Starter Look at the code What do you think it does? Run the code and see what it really does
Design context It is important that parents and guardians can pick up their children safely from school Nobody should be able to enter the school who should not be there How could programmable technology be used to achieve this?
Design brief Using the BBC micro:bit: Design a programmable system that parents can use to safely collect their children at the end of the school day This will then ensure that nobody can get access to the school who should not be there
Design criteria Your device must be able to: Send a signal when a parent or guardian has arrived to collect their child Only open the school gate when an allowed parent or guardian has arrived It could also: Allow a child to receive a signal when their parent or guardian has come to pick them up
Your tasks (route 1) Go to https://makecode.microbit.org Click on new project for each program to be written Write your items of code to meet the brief Check your code works on screen (simulate) Download to the different micro:bits Test to check your system works
Your tasks (route 2) Go to https://makecode.microbit.org Drag the example HEX files onto the project homepage to open them Check each program works on screen (simulate) Download them to the different micro:bits Test to check your system works
Extension 1) Design and make a physical barrier for the school gate 2) Design and make a mechanical system that opens the barrier using the servo motor
