#SpecialEd teacher @ginajames16 from Chicago, IL has never coded a day in her life and created a motion-activated mobile in the Art in Motion class using @microbit_edu. How cool is that? #InfyPathfinders @CEISMC @birdbraintech

This is one of our favorite hacks for making alligator clips (or crocodile clips) more accessible for others. What are some ways you hack your clips? @instructables #kidfriendly #electronics #lifehacks #DIY https://t.co/OI14kseiFw

[Dan the Geek @cogliano]

Here is a fun little project I've been working on. It's a maze maker for the @adafruit ePaper shield and Metro M4 Express. There are three difficulty levels and you can display the solution with the click of a button. I'm writing a learning guide for it now.

New tutorial on @instructables: the IoT cat litter box.
It uses an ESP32 to monitor my cats and the cleaning status of the box, stores the data and creates warnings using @thingspeak and @ifttt!

@jakebask Here’s what’s even cooler...you changed mine as well :) I was able to teach a thoughtful and intelligent student who later became a friend and colleague who’s making a demonstrable impact on the lives of others. That’s a big teacher win.

[Jake Baskin @jakebask]

What a great question! I’ve got to shout out @JeffSolin for being my first ever computer science teacher. Completely changed my life (although I didn’t know it back then) #csta2019

When most people see a roll of duct tape, they probably see a drab, everyday object that’s occasionally useful for fixing stuff. @QueenOfTape is different: She sees a medium of art, reports @EvanRGarcia. https://t.co/E7avA0WfqB

Dip your toe into creating recursive-style design patterns in Tinkercad by harnessing the quirky power of the Duplicate command. Learn more in this @instructables guide by @LadyCartoonist. https://t.co/rCAXduPMTN

A 3D printed home that Shawn printed up after trying to identify a flower from outside! We get a lot of questions about our 3d printer: yes we have one, and yes you can use it with your membership! 👏
