I had a little trip out to Cambridge last week and had to stop by tge @Raspberry_Pi store. Amazing shop, my kids loved all of the setups, arcades, lego. I had to spoil myself and add to my growing Pi collection.

Here's a set of 9ย @tinkercad posters for our community to enjoy. Each poster highlights a different 3D designย tool in Tinkercad and provides step-by-step instructions on using the tool. Get them here! bit.ly/3ikBhYW

Another really simple and very effective project. 2 x DS18x20 Onewire thermometers 1 X #Pico W Getting actual temp inside and out of my house, getting actual time from timeapi.io and sending the results to mongodb.com #iot #stem #python #coding

I've got a question for my teacher followers and anyone out there in #KS4 computing. What level of #Python are you doing and do you have any resources I could have a look at to see the criteria? #gcse #computing #codingforkids

Me, patiently waiting for more @Raspberry_Pi #Pico W stock to arrive at @pimoroni so I can build some more amazing side projects. I know there is @arduino but I've always been a sucker for Pi Products and I'm hooked on the Pico for simplicity and capability #STEM #Coding
Sadly my little @Raspberry_Pi #Pico experiment seems to be grinding to a halt. MQTT, Ultrasonic Sensor and LED warning all working well, add in @pimoroni displaypack 2 and I run out of memory. Time to get lean with libraries and try some other #Pico Projects.

Could just be a colour issue. More to come

It's @pimoroni delivery day. Time to get stuck in to the #pico and see what it's capable of. Trying to replicate some of the function of a @Raspberry_Pi #Zero which are rarer than rocking horse poo at the minute.

Hot off the #3D printer this morning, Can you tell what they are?

I'm really looking forward to another fantastic @norfolkshow this year. We've got prizes for all of our brain testing puzzles, @VEXRoboticsUK, and to top it off you can fly our #VR Simulator. See if you can master the skies in our latest aircraft.

An amazing week of #STEM started with #BalsainaBox at @townclose, went virtual with a hydraulics Q & A at @WycliffePrep and finished here at the @FishmongersCo for their 750th Anniversary Families Day. With @VEXRoboticsUK, Flight simulators and @rafyouthengage activities #amazing

A little #3Dprinting trial to replace my previous Balsa wood wing demonstrator. Hopefully it has a high enough lift to weight ratio for the fan I'm using. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป I'll update when I have it tested.
Only a couple of days left to nominate your Apprentice's, Technicians and Armed Force's Technicians for this amazing award. I was nomintaed within the last 24 hours and went on to win in 2018. The process is straightforward and makes a huge difference for the nominees career
