A brilliant article by @LewisKNewton. Inspiring to read how our competitions have positively impacted Lewis's personal development and career.

Lewis also emphasises the importance of encouraging more young people to enter the 2024 National Competitions. https://t.co/FqM2kF1M92

We're delighted to have Lewis Newton, who won a Medallion for Excellence for #TeamUK at #WSC2022SE, showcasing coding through @Sphero, supported by @ISEinWales' #HaveAGo campaign, at the #BigBangFestival, and were equally pleased to have a visit from @Metcalfe_SBET to stand 150.

[WorldSkills UK @worldskillsuk]

We've had a fantastic day at the #BigBangFestival, talking to students about the opportunities in #STEM that the future holds, with some great Lego Mindstorms inventions and explorations! Thank you to everyone who came along to our stand, you've made our day!

Campus Update!

A recent survey has found that students have trouble finding our buildings around the city - especially on Monday mornings. To make our buildings more identifiable we’ve decided to paint them purple.

CSS Tip! ⚡️

You could use CSS trig functions to calculate animation-delay 🤓

Using them here with custom props for this DNA strand! 👩‍🔬

.node {
animation-delay: calc(
sin((var(--index) / var(--total)) * 45deg) 👈
* var(--speed) * -1s
);
}

Happy 40th birthday @BBCBreakfast You have always shown the best support for @worldskillsuk #TeamUK from #Brazil to #Birmingham and everywhere in between - helping us celebrate the fantastic achievements and world class skills of apprentices from across the UK

[Rich Harris @Rich_Harris]

really happy with this — AFAIK this it's the first time anyone has created an interactive web-based tutorial for a full-stack framework, and it's possible because of WebContainers

content is 80% done, still some UI polish to add, but give it a whirl: https://t.co/h5ZmcBXQAP

[WorldSkills UK @worldskillsuk]

At yesterday's @HouseofCommons reception to celebrate #TeamUK's success at #WorldSkills2022, we handed out some well-deserved prizes to those who continue to go above and beyond, so this thread shines a light on some of those fantastic people. @halfon4harlowMP @educationgovuk

[WorldSkills UK @worldskillsuk]

It was fantastic to bring together #TeamUK at @HouseofCommons earlier, with medals and prizes being the order of the day. Find out more about the event at https://t.co/crNmVypoyg. #ExcellenceAtWork

Bringing the bear back to form controls with CSS :has() and CSS anchoring 👀

ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ

:root:has([type=password]:focus) .paw {
top: anchor(--password, top);
}

Only JavaScript is to toggle the password reveal whose button is anchored to the input 😉
