🤝We work closely with schools, educators & some of the world’s biggest tech companies like @ArmEducation & @MSMakeCode to help implement computing education💻. We've also partnered with @codeorg on these new resources for CS Fundamentals

I love delivering our @UCanTooTech Drone Assault Course workshop. Thursday's Students said they loved using computing creatively & applying it in ways they would have never thought possible.
Purposeful learning with a huge dollop of fun! @MGGS_@STEMLearningUK@STEMLearning_AS
I delivered our hub's termly Crumble course yesterday. As usual, the teachers went away very enthused & are looking forward to using their loan kits with their classes :)
Courses nearly always fall just before a term ends. The next course for Kent will be 26th Mar.
@CompHubKent
If you're in an English maintained school, there's FREE Crumble training up-for-grabs! teachcomputing.org/courses/C… better yet, eligible schools will be PAID to do the course
Can you believe these were made from start to finish by year 2 children (ages 6-7) in just one day!
What an amazing group to work with; their hard work is shown in the results of their builds including programming to control their makes using #microbits & @elecfreaks' Ring:bit
We've had a fantastic day today working with year 2 children. Today we were combining Computing with D&T to enable the children to create #microbit controlled ferris wheels!

Such a fantastic class to work with! We really enjoyed supporting pupils in making their automatons using multiple cams & followers. A total of 16 automatons were built, with pupils adding the animals they would like to travel with if they were the main character of this book 😁
Yesterday we had the pleasure of working with the lovely year six children of Our Lady Hartley Primary School who built #microbit controlled automatons inspired by the fantastic book by @charliemackesy - The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
We had plenty of interest in the DIY directional arrows we had at #Bett2024! We have plenty of ideas for you on our blog 😊 redfernelectronics.co.uk/diy…
We're excited to be back in the office to investigate some of the new tech from @elecfreaks we picked up at #Bett2024 - we're looking at innovative ways to incorporate #microbit into our Arcade games and adding #AI content to our workshops!
After visiting #Bett2024 we're very excited about investigating how these Climate Action Kits from @Forward__EDU can be used in schools to build on our previous work on climate action.
You can check out some of our previous projects here: ucantoo.org.uk/talking-tech/…
We're looking forward to generating lots of ideas for combining @MakeyMakey with #microbit in some of our workshops! Two of our favourite pieces of tech together; another great find at #Bett2024!
It's hard to believe this was 2 weeks ago!
What a day we had celebrating the semester-long programme working with local Realschule students in Davos. We loved partnering with @salesforce once again to make a difference with students through purposeful climate-related activities!
Just finished our 8th amazing year partnering with the local public Davos school district on Davos Codes. Thank you to team Salesforce and our partners on making #davoscodes a huge success again. ❤️
I'm so pleased we headed to the @Forward__EDU stand @BETT. Their great kits use the amazing JacDac connectors, which provide easy connection and daisychaining of components. Combining these with Climate Action projects and brilliant build elements has created a fab #microbit kit
Amazing day on Monday working with @Salesforce and the young people of #DavosCodes showcasing their work for the #WEF - building #microbit dioramas to represent each of their climate-related projects in which they've used technology to collect data and monitor the environment.
Another year in Switzerland, delivering the wonderful #DavosCodes programme on behalf of & in collaboration with @Salesforce. The students achieved great things & did themselves, the Oberstufe School, Salesforce, & U Can Too very proud, on Monday & at Marc's Lunch on Thursday!

What a creative collection of monster makers we had at our Halloween Monster Zoo workshop.
Feedback from both the children & their parents was amazing. With several booking onto our Christmas workshops the same day!

We had a fun day at our Halloween-themed workshop yesterday! The children all really enjoyed coding and building their robot monsters using #microbit
