I have recently completed my doctoral dissertation defense!
I am very excited to have reached this milestone and incredibly grateful to my advisor, my committee, my officemates, and my family for their support throughout this journey.

@HHolmegaard @NARSTorg I have April 18-21, 2026 marked on my calendar for NARST 2026, but I'm not 100% sure if there have been any changes.

I am planting the seed paper from #narst23 @NARSTorg 👩🏻‍🌾 Let's see...

[Gözde McLaughlin @gzdtsn]

@MiaSShaw Hi Mia! Those are input-output extenders. They used micro:bit version 1 (the one without built-in speaker) and that is why they added input-output extenders that function as speaker

[Gözde McLaughlin @gzdtsn]

Last day of the classes! Some of my students' micro:bit design projects. I enjoyed teaching this class!

[Gözde McLaughlin @gzdtsn]

#NARST23 is done and dusted!✨ See you in Denver! ⛰

I was fortunate to meet him last summer in Utrecht! He was kind and had great sense of humor!
Rest well!

I like how these measuring cups are representationally more meaningful than the traditional ones. Great 3D printing project!

[Renee Dawson @dawsonedtech]

How brilliant! 3D printer project? @APSITMelissa
