@jliemandt @samuelgil What about London?
Just wondering what the main barrier is. Is it that the models are optimized for the US curriculum?

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

@guxmedina @samuelgil why would it be impossible? Homeschooling is legal in UK, Portugal, Denmark, etc. Maybe finding founding families would be harder...

@thomasthecosmic @sotalikesfuture thank you! Which team were you on?

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

We built a Lego Boost robot that dances to the beat for the @sotalikesfuture hackathon! It uses a mic to detect the music beat and is fully controlled via Bluetooth

[Sarah Drinkwater 🔮 @sarahdrinkwater]

24 hours to teach a robot to move - from salsa to YMCA to the Pluto walk

@sotalikesfuture x @calfonsorico Cocoa Robot Rave - check out the Lego set built & trained by a dad & his 7 year old ❤️

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

@sarahdrinkwater @sotalikesfuture @calfonsorico I'm the dad, but the boy is 11 actually. Nice video!

@mbateman have you tried Tinybop's apps https://t.co/Ow2HP92Q9o ?

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

@turing_hamster @antoniomele101 Hey Antonio, I'm also based in London and following Alpha school with a keen interest, given their impressive results and bold experiments.
Do you think London is ready for a school like Alpha? We should talk.

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

@turing_hamster have you tried this ones for early years maths?

@Jsevillamol @peterwildeford I'm curious about why your estimate is 2x more conservative than John Schulman's 5 years?

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

@GuliMoreno pero no creo que se pueda cobrar un suscripción de 500usd por mes en España...

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

@GuliMoreno el año pasado hice un experimento para aprender los fonemas español https://t.co/B8F6S4ByOr muy parecido al método de Mentava

@FLL_Spain hola, me interesa inscribir a mi hijo en la League Explore pero no funciona le botón de inscripción. ¿Es solo para escuelas o hay extraescolares que participen? Estamos en Pozuelo/Madrid

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

@stulowe80 I've just seen your Arcade handhelds video and was really impressed by the equipment. Do you know of any schools in the UK with that kind of resources?

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

@andrewmccalip c'mon Messi-ner effect!

@dvassallo I tried an Arduino kit with my kid to start learning c, but syntax and brackets are complicated so I switched to scratch (and pygamer in the future).
To start with Scratch this is a good intro where you solve puzzles to learn https://t.co/tMPzAACGNQ

[Alex Palmer @Alex_Palmer]

This is an early demo. Let me know if you find it useful and if I should develop it further. 👍👎

I've created 60 levels of interactive challenges that gradually increase in complexity. From easy tasks to advanced puzzles, they cover all the fundamental programming elements: loops, conditionals, functions, and variables 🏋️‍♀️
