#MakerSpace, #makered, STEMed and #csed folks, here's a super-fun challenge lesson I use in class: Build a Baby Groot who talks when his plant is touched. Uses #Adafruit #CircuitPython a Circuit Playground, a 3D printed planter, laser-cut box, but lots of options abound. https://youtu.be/gEmyZ7ZWMIo

I left twitter and public social media shortly after I moved to South Korea in 2016.

Before that, as old Twitter @tieandjeans, I ran #makered chat with Laura Blankenship.

It was... not great teaching practice to try and host a craft conversation via text while on grade 2 recess duty.

Bij het opruimen kom ik leuke dingen tegen. Good old times met @astridpoot #MakerEd
Yeah! some pics from yesterday's "Digital Fabrication & Physical Computing" course (@hkustgz_cma @hkustguangzhou ) exhibition, teamed up with @margaretminsky 's E-Textiles class. Amazing student projects and very nice vibe in the OpenLab. So happy with how my first course here went #HKUSTGZ #MakerEd. #exhibition #finalprojects #students #digitalfabrication #physicalcomputing #3dprinting #lasercutting #cncmilling #arduino
Consolidated a bunch of in-process projects I’m doing for our students in anticipation of speaking with @blitzcitydiy for #CircuitPythonDay on #csed and #makered.
Somebody just privately asked me to define Maker Ed. In light of the hand wringing over AI and its effects on traditional, mainstream education. I thought I’d repost my Maker Ed “elevator pitch“:
