Busy day checking, sorting, and testing our fleet of #Codeapillars from @SACTechDigital #DigitalLendingLibrary Love these codeable caterpillars, such a great next step from #Unplugged activities to learn about coding, sequences, algorithms & loops @stacshq.bsky.social

Kicking off the new year with colleagues at Queen Margaret Academy exploring #AIinEdu for lesson planning, differentiation & engagement. Love the challenge of live demos on any subject (not my expertise 🤯). Tools like Copilot @eirikberre.bsky.social ThingLink @schoolai.com @wayground.bsky.social 🌟
Another day playing with @microbit.org & the @elecfreaks.bsky.social #Jacdac this time with magnet 🧲 detection 😃 so much fun to be had with a magnet detector treasure hunt in class 👏🥰👍 & thanks to the amazing elecfreaks ambassadors for helping me debug once again 🫶🏼
I’ve finally had some time to open my lovely box from @elecfreaks.bsky.social the Jacdac Smart Exploration kit for the @microbit.org let’s have a wee look at what’s inside ☺️
Dropped into @QMAOfficial to share some digital magic with the science dept ✨ @eirikberre.bsky.social , @microbit.org & @thinglink all sparking ideas 💡 Loved seeing this tray of Kindness Rocks too, simple, powerful wellbeing in action 💛 #DigitalLearning #PedTech #Wellbeing
Yesterday I spoke about digital innovation in science at a TeachMeet with amazing secondary teachers! Shared some fun @microbit.org projects (reaction timer, moisture sensor) but got inspired + dove into using tools like @mscommunity.bsky.social OneNote, Merge Cubes, iMovie & ThingLink too! ✨🤯

Guess where I was today? @roboticalltd.bsky.social HQ! Stopped by to give the @SACTechDigital digital lending library Marty robots some TLC and got a fab repair & maintenance masterclass from the brilliant Christine. Also met the mighty Marty crew! #ComputingScience @stacs
My sister’s been digging through the loft again… and look what she found – my dad’s old Western Systems laptop. Check out that software version – pure ‘80s gold. 💾✨ Makes you wonder what ideas, or secret projects might still be hiding behind those keys 🤔 #WeePonder #RetroTech #TimeCapsule
A blast from the past #Commodore64 Who else had 1 of these? @stacshq It’s like opening a time capsule of imagination, code & endless possibilities, before sleek apps & wireless everything, this was where digital dreams began. #ComputingScience
