Yes, definitely! 😊

I'm not sure if there would be time to add Construct into a GCSE class. It's something I would run as a game making workshop for that age group. Could even do it specifically for the non-GCSE students to cover their compulsory computing input for KS4?

Good luck, I'm also learning Godot at the moment and the tutorial you mentioned looks really interesting, thanks for sharing.

🚂On my way home from the fantastic, Playful Learning Conference from @digitalschoolhouse.bsky.social

🤯 My brain is so full of new and exciting information I don't know where to begin processing it all! I'll probably follow-up with a blog post at some point!

Feeling very inspired!

It was so much fun helping the children create these, last week!

Our #micro:bit Battle Bots now have working weapons . . .

We've had fun designing and building our own battle bots today in the style of @extremerobots.bsky.social !

We'll be adding the #micro:bit programming tomorrow.

Such a fun 2 days! I love my job! 😁

Now, THAT is a great idea!

🤖 Meet the robots . . .

📄 As I'm getting quite a collection of #robot projects now, I thought I would introduce them all in a blog post!

🎨 I genuinely find #robotics such a fun and engaging way to combine computing with creativity!

🤖 Celebrated today by making a #micro:bit powered R2D2! My 7yo even helped with the coding!

Looking forward to programming Omnibot's new @raspberrypi.com Zero brain. Now I'll be able to add a camera and speech capabilities! 🤞🏼

Had great fun hunting for large #Lego Easter Eggs today at Chatham Dockyard, also loved seeing the Lego shipwrecks on display!

Wow! Yes! Check out their videos, they're awesome!

CodeCombat: Learn to Code by Playing a Game Learn typed code through a programming game. Learn Python, JavaScript, and HTML as you solve puzzles and learn to make your own coding games and websites.

💡 Just introduced my son to Code Combat in Roblox! He's loving adding his own blocks of code to improve his virtual pet's combat skills.

So nice to see him playing a decent game in Roblox and building his coding knowledge at the same time >> codecombat.com/roblox

Yes, we watched the @extremerobots.bsky.social channel on YouTube first to see what happens. It's actually an activity I've done with my own children at home as well as offering it as a school workshop.
We were lucky enough to have them visit our town last year so got to see them live!

I'm not sure why it is not displaying correctly, it's stopped working for me too! In the meantime, here's a zip file containing the resources > 1drv.ms/u/c/4af0fc55...

That's strange, what happens when you click the link?

I've shared some resources on @computingatschool.bsky.social to help with this here 👉 www.computingatschool.org.uk/resources/2025/april/microbit-battle-bots

We used Cutebots from @elecfreaks.bsky.social

A few years ago we did a little #micro:bit Battle Bots challenge and my children have just asked if we can do it again over the Easter holiday! Yes, yes, yes!

Here's what they made last time! I'm very excited to see what they come up with this time now they're a little older!

Thanks, I'll do that.

I'll have to explore this. I've only used MakeCode for #microbit and the Python editor.

Yes! I've always loved teaching and particularly love visiting schools, delivering STEM/computing workshops now! I see lots of "wow" moments and that makes it all worthwhile! (Especially inspiring more girls into computing!)

No problem! Yes, it would definitely be great for a summer camp project! Would love to see how you get on 😊
