Are you using your #microbit in the #Science #classroom yet? @SparkFunEDU share a great blog on data collection and logging here x.com/SparkFunEDU/status/100…

Use #microbit for data collection and logging by combining it with OpenLog and some easy programming in #makecode. #citizenscience #STEM bit.ly/2yrPqfS

Another student project. The 2016 Virtual Pinball Table a collab project from 2x year10 & 2x year12 students @ MerrimacSHS. Not bad for an old teacher desk, scrap in Man Arts and a couple of old TVs. Sure gets a workout in the #Makerspace youtu.be/TSzR7_3tYYQ #aussieED

Story from MerrimacSHS FB from last week of school year. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas & this week students in our Makerspace have been building electronic Christmas trees & alarm clocks. Happy kids showing off their efforts.@HackSpaceMag @qsite @JoachimCohen123

I thought I would share a past project "House of Tomorrow" the 3D printed smart house complete with biometric security system. Completed by year 11 students at Merrimac State High School in 2014. youtu.be/tNQBnnlniKk #arduino, #MakerSpace, #STEM @makerfaire @Makerspaces_com
Another of Mel's Projects in collab with Lochie Ashcroft. An arcade recycle bin that uses cans and PET bottles as tokens to play. Extended video shows group pitching their idea at the 2016 Gold Coast Telstra Technology awards. @qsite, @JoachimCohen123 youtu.be/SU0C8QzXuhM

Hi champ @timmiclark. Tank look familiar? This is one of my year 12 kids. Powered by an Ardunio and fitted with a Pixi cam. She trained it to do image recognition and follow a blue ball.

Busy term 4. Kids won the Australian Robotics Challenge. The best school prize was a NAO which we took delivery of today. Kids won the Gold CoastTelstra tech awards and have been busy with their robotics projects and a bit 3D printing and cnc milling
