We organized our third FOSDEM Junior, and it was a great success, seeing how engaged the children were. We had children from more than 20 countries taking part in the workshops.

Ever since @jmoenig.bsky.social said they were "trying to find a pedagogical entry point into all of this" about building Neural Network models (in this talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9W0...) I have been thinking about it for the age group that I am interested in (4-10+). Part of my thinking 1/?

I believe that with these anthropomorphic emojis, children can have more willingness to express and create!

Because it can get very hot in the workshop rooms during @fosdem.org Junior, I made a little MIT App Inventor app that is receiving data from a databot sending the CO2 level, temperature and humidity every 10 seconds. I used @microblocks.bsky.social to program the databot.
