Oh, no, Beebee is sick today. How many things can a simple animatronic robot show? Yes, no, sick, sad, what can you think of?

I spent a lovely day yesterday at NGMPS messin’ around with micro:bits. The grade 4/5 students made good use of @4pip.bsky.social book β€œInvent to Learn with the micro:bit” @garystager.bsky.social @sylviamartinez.bsky.social and are captured by their teacher at www.instagram.com/reel/DKNVpj-...

More fun with @microbit.org and the Climate Action Kit. My grade 5s built a wind turbine and a monitor that waters a plant when moisture percentage falls below 30%. Excellent response from students.

Working on PvP tennis on the @microbit.org and having some success! πŸ“πŸŽΎShake to return the virtual ball. If you shake at the wrong moment you miss the ball and you lose the rally! Kids can adapt the animations and timings. Code here πŸ‘‰ makecode.microbit.org/S31157-43726...

My #fourthgrade Ss & robotic art at our #artshow! It was a big hit! Ss chose artwork to recreate or reimagine. Using @microbit.org and @birdbraintech & @MSMakeCode they added lights, motors and sensors. The shark was a favorite! #STEMeducation #Coding #makerspace #electronics

Worked on coding sequential, repeating, and concurrent events with Grade 4s today using #micro:bits! They coded music to play while an animation flashed on the display. 🐢 🎡

For social media we would recommend creating a video / Reel. Something quick and easy to watch to give the idea with a link to a YouTube (or other media) for a more detailed tutorial.
