Many robot kits are a gift with an app attached.

LEGO's SPIKE app says "Data isn't encrypted." Miko's Google Play label may share location while Apple's says "Data Not Collected." Pick by age, then read the app.

His son came home and said he built five games that day in Gemini. The detail he added to a jumping square is what makes this story land.

"Dad, I need to publish my games to Netlify." A kid who learned deployment, analytics, and ad revenue from a chatbot. His expectation of code is completely different now.

This weekend I'm sitting down with my youngling niece and playing around with a few game engines, namely #Godot #Unity and #Defold to see what suits our purposes at porting over her games from #MakeCode Arcade.

The microbit can talk! There's a "hidden" API that has been conveniently ported to makecode. Queue giggling as the child makes a computer say "fart" and "poo" on repeat 😐😆

If the computational thinking works, you can build and test algoritms in the most intuitive way, coding languages are only a matter of practice when the fundations are solid. I love MakeCode, but it solves lots of things "under the hood".
Embrace simplicity! 2/2

Today I had a class with some 11 year-olds i'm teaching GDScript. April in Spain is full of holidays, so we had no classes for a month. How to reviw / restart the learning? A challenge: build our movement algorithm in Scratch! Still the best platform to teach computational thinking #KidsCoding 1/2

We have been talking about procedural generation, the Random Walker Algorithm and how we implement it in Godot, so in the last half hour we had a Spelunky Classic speedrun competition, so cool!

Today we have made a mockup screenshot of our games, to have a clear visual idea, selecting assets and bulding an image using layers in Aseprite. It looks really nice, and now they're starting to believe in their projects! We will use the mockup screen in our GDD.

Today's class is between holidays, the students wouldn't probably remember anything from two weeks ago and wouldn't remember today's class in two weeks. So, fun plan: a Seven Billion Humans teams speedrun, and then reinforce the basics with GDQuest great Gdscript course
