    Make a Flower Lantern (micro:bit)

    Strawbees Team

    Build a geometric structure inspired by the tradition of making Loy Krathong “to float a vessel or lamp,” for Festival of the Lights or Lantern Festivals in Southeast Asia. This comes from the tradition of making buoyant krathong, like decorated baskets, which are then floated on a river lit by candlelight. Make this light-up like candlelight using the RGB LEDs on the Robotics board and animate a flame using the LED matrix screen of the micro:bit.
