Mystic 8-Ball
A modern take on the classic Magic 8-Ball! Students build and code their own interactive fortune teller using an Arduino and OLED screen. At the press of a button, it can predict dinner, weekend plans, study topics, and more. Best of all, students can customise the responses and make it uniquely their own.

Curriculum
Students build and code an interactive digital Mystic 8-Ball using Arduino and OLED screens. Emphasizing software logic, students use block coding to master conditional statements, random number generation, and data arrays. They will bridge the gap between hardware and code, taking home their own functioning electronic gadget.
