My mission: to spark curiosity & empower students to solve real-world problems through tech. Check out my project‑based, hands‑on coding lessons which includes:🌟Physical Computing: Bring code to life with cardboard & micro:bit @khanacademy @salkhanacademy grusso.netlify.app/
I'm a Fullstack Web Developer, Computer Science Educator, and a School Library Media & Educational Technology Specialist. I believe coding isn't just for computer programmers... it's a literacy - one of the basic fundamentals of learning! I enjoy teaching students through an engaging, hands-on approach using microcontrollers, servo motors, light emitting diodes, breadboards, resistors, and other components. When students learn about physical computing, they are building the foundational skills needed to thrive in a competitive world.

🫧✨ Robotics meets bubbles! I built a bubble blowing machine using the micro:bit and a Hummingbird kit. Servo dips the wand, motor blows the bubbles, and MakeCode brings it to life. Hands-on learning at its best! 🚀 @microbit_edu @birdbraintech #microbit #Hummingbird #EdTech

🏴‍☠️This chest doesn’t need a key…it has AI! 🤖 I trained it with micro:bit’s CreateAI so it knows when to open and close. From cardboard ➡️ circuits ➡️ machine learning magic. @microbit_edu @MSMakeCode #microbit #CreateAI #STEM #Makerspace #AI #physicalComputing #edtech

🐹⏱️Think you’re fast enough to beat the clock? I built a Whack-a-Mole game in Python (Trinket IDE) — whack as many moles as you can before time runs out! Can you set a new high score? grusso.netlify.app/#python @W3Schoolsdotcom #Python #Gaming #EdTech #LearnToCode

🔐 My treasure chest is locked by a micro:bit using a Caesar Cipher (shift 5)! I crack the code with a cipher wheel, send it from another micro:bit, and unlock it. 📷 #microbit #physicalComputing #edtech #cryptography #cybersecurity @microbit_edu @MSMakeCode @W3Schoolsdotcom
