Inspiration Through our experiences as student athletes, we often struggle with self motivation during training. Leveraging on this, we aim to make something that can be both functional and silly, to inject some joy into the daily grind.

What it does It is a device that attaches to your shoelaces. It can count time and steps taken. If you were to stop and stay still for an extended period of time without finishing your workout, it will make noise!

How I built it We made it with microbit.

Challenges I ran into We had little to no knowledge of how to code, how to use the microbit or anything about how we were to go about doing this.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of It’s a working product! And learning a new skill.

What I learned How to use the microbit, some basic python.

What's next for Screaming Shoes

Trying to code it with pure python, making it more compact and getting it to play original sound files instead of presets in microbit.
