@kinlossprimary talked about randomness and probability as we were using #microbit dice for a game. Tested if dice rolls are random over 1 min and 3 min.
Also why randomness is in the best games. @CompatSch @DigiScot

Exciting new project designed to improve spatial thinking skills of Primary pupils. Growing body of experimental evidence that this also improves learning across a range of STEM subjects including CS.

Probably the best thing you'll see today.
In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.

Data Engineering is becoming the top skill required in the data sector.
Interesting to see that two of the top three skills (programming and SQL) are embedded in Scotland's National Computing Science Qualifications.
