1st of September!?! When did happen?!?

It's back to school for many this week, tell us your micro:bit plans for the new academic year @microbit.org #microbit #physicalcomputing

Or even more fun: tell us fun holiday stories 😎

The whole pen-plotter-from-scratch thing: So far output is a screen narrating my own progress back at me.
Pico2W, MicroPython.

Steppers or servos next?

(At some point… optimistically, I’ll need a pen)

I got a notification that someone had cited one of my papers. Excited I clicked it. It was me 😂 I cited myself ❤️.
My new paper is out! Using physical computing to teach #data to #primary kids dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... #microbit #physicalcomputing @microbit.org
I'll be in #Pittsburgh at #SIGCSE

#TeamCompSci, how about #physicalcomputing for the energetic wee ones? 👀
I think this is something #edusky might be interested in? Anybody involved in playground design?
Read all about the #Helsinki playground that teaches #CompuationalThinking in a fun #unplugged way!
