Nice work - I like hardware hacking to make things much cooler than they were originally [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-e4eddc39-c927-4c21-980c-81b8d5c88f88/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Hi Katie,

That's very cool! I wish I'd thought of doing something like this as a present.

A possible sensor for Halloween projects could be a PIR sensor (some are quite small) attached to the Micro::bit, so that when someone walks past them at night it triggers an effect. I tried that for a LED night-light using toy wooden robots (drilled a hole in their chest and put in an LED, but single colour in my case, and no microcontroller for effects in that project).
