Thought I'd share my @microbit.org Christmas Tree πŸŽ„ again this year. I have used some cheap LEDs, crocodile clips and card to create this. The pins are then programed to flash the LEDs in a sequence

You will find a full lesson for this here: mrmorrison.co.uk/microbit/christmas

Good for you Sue! I love thinking for myself, however I find AI a great partner for generating ideas. I find I get a lot out of the back and forth and it encourages/inspires more creativity than the empty page. That's my experience of using it!

@bazzacollins.bsky.social I watched the podcast today on YT with the PcPro team. Great to see that the computing curriculum review was the first story! I am a 2nd career computing teacher. Lots of great work going on to support schools from BCS, Rpi and many more! No need for so much negativity.
