So overwhelmed 💛🤖 by "Build a Brain" finale! In just 12 weeks, students went from using technology to building intelligent systems from scratch. Things broke. They kept going. That’s resilience. Follow @noblackboxes.bsky.social #AI #STEM #Neuroscience

✨5 billion people are online, sending trillions of socket messages every day. Wait… what’s a network socket? 🤔 You use one every time you message, stream, or shop online. 👉 Learn how it really works, follow @noblackboxes.bsky.social

It was a blast to be part of the "AI × Education" panel with Dr. Timo Hannay, Ed Cooke and Rehana Al-Soltane, and talk about our @noblackboxes.bsky.social programme at the "AE Global Summit on Open Problems for AI", hosted by Thinking About Thinking.

There is no better way to explain this!

✨Discover what you can learn in 3 weeks! We’ve just wrapped our 3-week No Black Boxes course for MSc/PhD students. Here are some highlights of their projects. 👉Follow @noblackboxes.bsky.social and email us for the syllabus + logistics of our courses.

"How early is too early to learn?". Wrong question. "How early is too early to play?"

Don’t tell kids “Let’s learn robotics” Tell them “Let’s play" Here’s Albi, 10-year-old, testing a new-built robot. Yes, he had tons of question & fun! Do you want your kids to enjoy technology without jargon? We make it easy. Follow @noblackboxes.bsky.social

We had so much fun teaching these PhD students!

Congratulations to all the new SWC & @gatsbyucl.bsky.social PhD students for successfully completing Boot Camp! We are delighted to welcome you to the community. Students showcased their robots in our hotly anticipated annual @noblackboxes.bsky.social Robot Competition 🦾⚽💻

Same smiles. Same excitement. Same fun! From secondary school students to PhD researchers, the reaction is always the same. What does this tell you? That we are on the good track of rewriting what everyone should know about technology! Follow @noblackboxes.bsky.social

🤔 Why do we design and build our own tech at No Black Boxes? Because most tech around you can’t be opened, at least, not without breaking it. That's why we created our own custom boards, power supplies, microphones, FPGAs... Do you want to truly understand TECH? 👉 Follow @noblackboxes.bsky.social

🎯 Waiting for better MENAL HEALTH DEVICES? Smart, affordable, accessible? 👉 Real innovation starts with understanding tech. Like MEMS microphones 🎤, your phone probably has 10! At @NoBlackBoxes, we teach how tech, and MEMS, works, and how to build it. Follow @NoBlackBoxes to learn about technology

Super excited to teach our 🤖💥 Tech Bootcamp for Life Science 💥🤖 at the Francis Crick Institute next week! We’re diving into hands-on tech, circuits, AI, to help researchers: ➡️ Build skills ➡️ Run smarter experiments ➡️ Rethink their tools Follow @NoBlackBoxes for more!

Congratulations to all the students who completed the ‘Build a Brain’ course 🎊🤖 Their final robots, built from scratch, were on display at the recent London AI Campus showcase. @noblackboxes.bsky.social, Camden Learning, Google, @elenadreo.bsky.social ⬇️ www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/blog/bui...

One thing I love about teaching: seeing how differently we all learn. 🧠 Some need logic, others images or hands-on examples. The more varied the teaching, the deeper the learning. At NoBlackBoxes, we make abstract ideas click. In this clip, we explain what Heat 🔥 really is. www.noblackboxes.org
