Great ideas for teaching variables through dry running in this week's @cs4fn @cas_london_crc live lecture. Also a nice alternative for making learning memorable while you can't get real students up at the front using #lego mini-figures instead. teachinglondoncomputing.org/…
Ah, happy memories of @weetabix token collecting. Showing my hoarding tendancies here!
Images created using 100 Rubiks' Cubes as oversized pixels. Some unexpected Turing at the Edinburgh Festival watching the excellent @performingnerd
Finally got round to testing @microbit_edu wireless data logging using the Plotter in Mu. 'Dad v Kids' LEGO cart race as a trial for @BLOODHOUND_Edu #rftl timing.
First @Bett_show keynote of the day: @mres Lifelong Kindergarten - Cultivating creativity through projects, passion, peers and play #Bett2019

Another Year 10 class starting to #codewithmu tomorrow so I made a cheat sheet. (Also as I finally discovered Undo/Redo hiding in the right click menu!) Let me know of any errors/omissions for use in a Mu 101 lesson @ntoll @tjguk - I'll upload once tested in tomorrow's class.
The very early stages of @FranKirby Football 2019 in @scratch 3! Encouraging coding by linking with a passion project. (Although this is actually a double passion project for my 10yo as she is a big Scratch fan too.)
Just to prove that a teenage boy really did want to start a movement to Delete Fortnite. I loved the 'stage of addiction' rating. Is this a sign we have reached 'Peak Fortnite'?
If you have an ounce of scientific curiosity you will end up doing something like this. (And then repeating with the cartons the other way round!)
Which one falls first? Public Health Warning: Do not start watching unless you have 3 milk or juice cartons in the house! youtube.com/watch?v=7ePahseH… Via @natkin @rubbishscience excellent keynote at @UoBSchoolofEd on, amongst many things, scientific thinking / what might happen if...
Today I'm mentoring with @designclub at the @WiredUK #WIREDNextGen festival of education and inspiration
Planning has reached the A3 paper and #microbit sticker prototype stage. Red ones are bits and silver ones are gates. @whaleygeek @blogmywiki
