Having fun at the Sanjay Mortimer 3D printer festival. Cool castle by @Polymaker_3D looking forward to testing out their filament!

@all_about_code @PyConUK @microbit_edu @carlosperate @scienceoxford Thanks for coming (and for testing the experimental stuff out!!), hope yours goes well in the morning :D

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

We had loads of fun programming #microbit treasure security systems @PyConUK this afternoon. Some great creative solutions, thanks everyone for coming along! We'll see if the young coders can do better tomorrow 😄 #PyConUK @microbit_edu @carlosperate @scienceoxford

@ForrisHilier @carlosperate @PyConUK @microbit_edu @scienceoxford Ha true, luckily we have a TON of cardboard left!

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

It works!! Great teamwork, and good fun, getting our watering system #raspberrypi working :D. Thanks for a great workshop @astrid_novicky https://t.co/Z0YGAwuHiE #PyConUK

@mytechnotalent I had never thought to combine the two before, feel silly now as it's such a perfect combination 🤣. Will let you know what I end up making!

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

@mytechnotalent just watched your study buddy talk from #microbitlive (still sad that I missed it on the day!) - so awesome :D the speech library has so much potential for cuteness! I've saved the instructions to have a play with when I get chance, thanks for writing it all up!

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

Loads of great talks from last week's #microbitlive, I'm still catching up!

[Nic Hughes @duck_star]

So last weekend was #microbitlive All the talks where recorded, including mine.😀Check them out here. There was some amazing stuff shown. https://t.co/paE6A1sutE @microbit_edu #microbit #education #computing #physicalcomputing #conference #onlinelearning #caschat #PrimaryRocks

So excited for this!!

[Science Oxford @scienceoxford]

Young #techies can sign up to our festive online #coding workshop and design a #3D snowman and send a message into #Space!
Zoom throughout the day and #ShowAndTell all the super-cool stuff you make - for ages 9-12!

Had a FANTASTIC day @microbit_edu #microbitlive, so many awesome talks - got great inspiration for future projects, as well as some serious makerspace envy! Will catch up on all the talks I missed next week, big bonus to it being virtual. Thanks all, bring on next year's event 🤩

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

@jhegarty Thank you, glad it was helpful! Keep playing around with #micropython, it's awesome :)

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

That was stressful! Time to grab a cuppa before watching another talk 🤣

[Carlos @carlosperate]

Introduction to @micropython with #microbit by @Isioviel! 🐍
Been looking forward to this all day :)

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

@mytechnotalent @carlosperate @micropython Thank you!!

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

@carlosperate @micropython Thanks for your help with the new features :D

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

@mytechnotalent Totally agree, great way to introduce both text-based coding & physical computing - what's not to love! #micropython is amazing

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

Ahhhhhh look what was waiting for me in the office today! So pretty 🤩 #microbit

[Sarah Townson @Isioviel]

@mytechnotalent Thank you!! Keep changing my mind about what to cover 🤣 too many fun things to do with a #microbit
