At #Snapcon25 Andrea and Joek share their reflections on the #TurtleStitch10 meet up in #Tilburg.

We celebrated 10 years of #creativecoding in #turtlestitch - which is built on #Snap, created by @jmoenig.bsky.social

Its been fantastic catching up with everyone at #SnapCon25 lots of interesting ideas about how to use Snap! in #education. Joek van Montfort exploring #TurtleStitch as a bridge between #maths and #computing. #Snap

Valerie Barr says what a lot of CS teachers are thinking. cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/fee...

Thanks Glenn, its an interesting article. For computing education it's about using the right tools for the job in hand, and fully understanding what that job actually is.

Really impressed by the brilliant designs created by #TMIP25 participants at our Geometry, Code and #Embroidery workshop today with @philjemmett.bsky.social

I'm running a free online introductory workshop 17th Sept 4–5pm.

Hope everyone else is having a great time at #tmip25. One thing I love is how much of the discussion on the hashtag is about the mathematical music last night, and the mathematical art on display - proof if it were needed that creativity and mathematics go hand in hand

Excited to be part of the maths art exhibition at Talking Maths in Public at the University of Warwick!! 🧶 🧮 #MathSky #embroidery #handembroidery #TMiP2025 #TMiP25

Looks beautiful!

I completely agree. However it can be difficult to get the sock drawer to close.

Special shout out here to @philjemmett.bsky.social who, every year, takes the winning trophy from the Champion of Champions Prize Task & makes it into the real trophy for the next year of the competition.

Here is Phil with last year's trophy & the real trophy that the children won this year 🏆

time to celebrate ten years of turtlestitch together

Pattern embroidered using a Scratch program

Today we went to the University of Warwick and did some embroidery with @megjlow.bsky.social. You use Scratch to draw the patterns and then they get stitched. #TeamCompSci

a pattern being stitched by a digital embroidery machine, it consists of multiple zigzag patterns making up a half circle.

a flower pattern stitched onto felt. It has six petals and each petal is stitched using a cross stitch pattern.

Two stitched flowers onto felt, with a cross stitch border around them.

A flower pattern stitched onto felt, it uses a Z stitch to outline each petal.

We had a fantastic time at the #ResonateFestival of Arts at the @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social, running StitchInTime activity! Children used @turtlestitch.bsky.social to create designs. Thank you to WMG colleagues for running the activity.

I love that you are knitting from a cone. It's something I like to do as well for bigger knits

Thank you for your kind words. Your pattern is beautiful, thanks for sharing it.

A display from the Stitch in Time project in 2024. This is a wall in the Coventry Transport Museum. On the wall are a number of different displays, showing the work of primary school students. The displays have coloured felt patches, and on each patch is a stitched pattern.
