A great little project. @Raspberry_Pi 3, @pimoroni grow kit and propagator from @homebargains. Hopefully it will yield some plants over the next week or so. #realworldcomputing #sustainableliving #computing
As part of their Intelligent Systems unit, S3 @BlairgowrieComp students have created self-watering plant propagation systems using @Raspberry_Pi and @pimoroni kits. Coriander, basil, rosemary, tomato and 3 kinds of chilli plants have been planted. #SustainableLiving #computing

S3 @BlairgowrieComp students are using @Raspberry_Pi to create a series of real world intelligent systems. Traffic lights, a shopping checkout and our very own home assistant (Bob) are all busy being worked on! #computing #intellegentsystems #activelearning @BlairgowrieHS

@BlairgowrieHS Senior Boys played well for huge spells, but ultimately fell to a 5-2 defeat against a strong @PerthGrammar team. A brace from Grzegorz Lawniczek, the second of which had brought things to 3-2, had given us some hope, but two breakaway goals gave the hosts victory.

If the whole point of school is to teach and educate our future generations, we need to allow these kids and teens to learn about stuff in an objective manner and think for themselves. Otherwise you're impairing their development of critical thinking skills.

Don't you just hate Rangers raising their game against us, whilst lying down to Celtic. #aberdeenfc #RangersFC

Well done to @BlairgowrieHS student Mika, who was one of 2 runners up in the @gsc1 #MakeitHappen competition which was open to pupils across Scotland. The competition was to invent an app to solve a problem in #STEM. Mika designed an app to help deaf people play music.

A great team effort, and to get a prize in a field of such high quality Computing competitors is excellent recognition. Really impressed with a good number of creations today. Thanks @dundeeuni for having us!

A wonderful group of players who deserved more from last nights game. A heartbreaking end, but hopefully we can return and go one better next year. #teamblair
Football can be a cruel game, but I have nothing but pride and admiration for this group of @BlairgowrieHS players. They gave everything. They fought hard to lead twice, but two late goals clinched a 3-2 victory for @PerthHighSchool and with it the PKC Cup. @ASCblair

Education Scotland are not the only barrier, but great to see @Mark_Logan1 calling them out for failing to support CS reform in our schools. We need bold leadership to drive curricular change. #csforall

Mrs Mitchell and our S3 students had a fantastic morning at the @AbertayUni Digital Graduate Show. A wonderful chance for @BlairgowrieHS pupils to find out about the student experience and try out some of the project. Enjoyed talking to @ninjakiwigames and @teamterribledev.

Well done to all the boys on an excellent win. They are excellent ambassadors for our school, and deserve a showcase venue for the final. @StJohnstone @dundeeunitedfc
We're into the final! A double from Robbie Watson, the second 5 mins from time, sealed a memorable 2-1 P&K schools cup semi-final victory for @BlairgowrieHS senior boys against @BerthaParkHigh. @BlairgowriePE @ASCblair @PKCSSFA

Aberdeen are so bad, but teams still need questionable VAR penalty decisions to win. Just astonishing!

Thank you to @AbertayCyber, CyberFirst and @NCSC for inviting S3 students to take part in the cyber security workshop. They had a great time being CyberFirst Investigators for the day and learning about different careers in the field of #cybersecurity #dyw @BlairgowrieHS
