📣 Be part of micro:bit research study!
The EPICS project needs teachers to do a short micro:bit class activity and surveys, to find out the longer-term impact of using physical computing activities. EPICS is run by the @RaspberryPi_org Computing Education Research Centre at the University of Cambridge.
📚 If you take part, you can enter into a prize draw for some computing-related books for your school library 🙌

Since he was in school @b_gallagher2 always loved technology. So he went back to his old school, Scoil Cholmcille An Tearmann in Donegal to meet some amazing inventors who he heard were a chip off the old motherboard. Check this out.

Ahead of digital technology being introduced to the primary school curriculum in 2025, @molly_oconnorrr went along to Stanhope Street Primary School who were getting tech savvy already! @AWS_UKI @Workday @WeAreTUDublin @scienceirel

Last year, working in Ireland, having a pint in the cold outside a Dalkey pub with some new friends, a woman with purpose strode past us. Puffy parker zipped to the nape and her bowed head covered in a scarf. One of my new friends muttered an exclamation, jumped up

[Micro:bit Educational Foundation @microbit_edu]

#Microbit is thrilled to see this much needed partnership between @UN_Women & @i_amthecode which will have a huge impact for women & girls across Africa. Learning to code is a pathway to greater things .... just look at Ada Lovelace et al.

[Micro:bit Educational Foundation @microbit_edu]

The @i_amthecode #DaretoCode Hackathon at Kakuma Refugee Camp is well underway. The girls are working on the UN Global Goals AND will be coding the micro:bits that have been provided by @NordicTweets. 👏Fantastic work on #InternationalDayOfTheGirl and #AvaLovelaceDay
