2026 micro:bit game for Ada Lovelace Day
A radio-tuning game for Ada Lovelace Day at Coding Pirates. Children tilt a micro:bit to move a needle across a radio dial on a big TV and hunt for hidden signals.
The idea
Ada Lovelace Day is about women in tech, so the levels spell ADA, HEDY and GRACE. The harder levels are built around Hedy Lamarr's idea of frequency hopping: the signal slides across the dial, and you have to follow it to hold on.
Made for a busy drop-in event
- The micro:bits only report their own needle position. All the game content lives in the web app, so puzzles can be changed live without flashing anything.
- One self-contained .exe that runs offline and connects to the base station by itself.
- Each child climbs the levels on their own, so a fast child moves on without the others having to wait.
- A built-in simulator, so the whole game can be tested without any hardware.
