In a video I realised this morning, I discuss electromagnetic coils and how they can be used for energy transfer. I also show how this technology can be used to retrofit wireless/inductive charging into products. youtu.be/20w6wabf15I

Last week I made a few disassembly boards, from old electronics, to promote active engagement from students during a lecture on sustainable design and product life-cycle. Might also be a beneficial idea for practising STEM educators. @EPISTEM_UL @ettaireland @Area2ETTA

I'll hopefully be adding some resources to promote interdisciplinary education in the coming months. Below you can see a Micro:bit, Kitronik board and EMG sensors being used to make a prosthetic hand that is controlled by straining your muscles. @microbit_edu @Kitronik

In my latest educational video, I discuss the use of ChatGPT to help write and troubleshoot code for the Micro:bit. Hopefully, as this technology improves, this will become a helpful tool for students and educators. youtube.com/watch?v=iFTV1MEt…

I made a few videos to help students, teachers and student teachers learn about the Micro:bit and Kitronik all-in-one robotics board. I put them on a website so everyone can have free access (seanoconnor.eu). Hopefully, someone might find them helpful.
