Our #YoungSTEMLeaders have been absolutely brilliant this year! Great to see the working lighthouses! 💡
Today P2A turned their models into working lighthouses. Jemma from Eyemouth High School came to help us build our circuits. A huge thank you to Jemma. #EyemouthEnriches

Introducing JacobsQuick.Tips This is the new home for all of my videos. It's the one link I can proudly share with people when they ask where to find my resources and my hope is that it might be a link you'll consider sharing with your own schools colleagues too. (1/4)

Happy 40th birthday Apple Macintosh! #Mac40 Here’s a pic of my oldest Mac (from around 1994). I loved its ergonomic keyboard which had a hinge at the top to fold open.
