🍎 As we are wrapping up Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to celebrate all the hard work teachers put in to ensure students succeed! You all are true pillars that keep education alive and ensure the future of STEM lives on. We hope you guys are having an awesome day!✨️

We strongly encourage students to send a quick "thank you" email to your favorite teachers to show your appreciation!

Here is a prototype I made (with Berlin spy museum in mind as future client).
It's a simple DIY encryption device made using conuctive tape.

Decrypting works like this:
Rotate the paper disk into position, matching the encrypted letter to the black triangle. Then press the button provided with the encrypted letter. An LED will illuminate the decrypted letter. Encrypting works the same but reverse. How you make the connections is your "key".

I am prototyping paper airplanes usinge the idea of 3D-printing directly to thin paper and then cutting the parts for assembly.
I also tried using a 3D-pen. Both ways work and the planes fly pretty well. Next up: bigger plane + supercap-motor unit.

The idea is inspired by a recent video of Tom Stanton.

It's teacher Tuesday!!

Why yes, this is a robot controlling NeoPixels!

I just shared a NeoPixel capstone starter project in #MicroPython for BEAPER Nano and BEAPER Pico (Arduino versions coming soon).

It's part of my beginner learning activities – find them all here: https://github.com/mirobotech
