Well, it is more of a turtle than a horse. I need more experimentation and prototyping. This will be something my high school kids build next year. @microbit.org #microbit #robot #education
The Great Hall of the People is about half a mile from Zhongnanhai. In other words, China's ballroom is not next to their white house. They built it a half mile down the street. Why did we need to destroy part of our White House?
Do your robots think you are an idiot? Get educated with free classes from @codejoyedu.bsky.social.
Another great show from @codejoyedu.bsky.social. The robots are doing Romeo and Juliet! Help them make it better! Thanks to CodeJoy for making these so good. There are plenty of shows this month with open spots. #microbit #education
Odin Lord of Cats is 6 months old and starting to get his lion face and mane.
I watched the Robot Memories show from @codejoyedu.bsky.social. Another excellent show. This one in particular has lots of student involvement and a good story line. And I am not just saying that because I went to school with Grampa Walter.
Teachers, don't miss these shows from @codejoyedu.bsky.social. They are so well made. Your students will be inspired to try robotics and coding. Elby is the star of the show and students can make one for themselves! learn.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdb... Sponsored shows are free! #microbit
Here is a slide I have been showing my students for a few years. Generative AI prompting is just another programming language. Professional level classes are already advising us to include "think deeply" or "let's think step by step" in our prompts. The real question is: Will they pay us more?
I went to the @codejoyedu.bsky.social Robot Garden interactive class today. Another great show for younger kids and adults who never grew up like me. I was inspired by the "BatteryFly". I am going to have to think about making one for myself. These shows always get me thinking. Try one. #microbit
I just finished another good webinar from @codejoyedu.bsky.social. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about teaching and AI. Go to pathfinders.onwingspan.com and look for Practical AI for Educators.
@elecfreaks.bsky.social I am looking at some building brick motors. I have seen these. The problem is that at no time has a photo of the cable and connection ever been taken. We have this photo. It shows that it will be plugged in, but no notes on what cable will do that. #microbitchampion
