@RaspberryPi_org @KiniaCommunity Kat and Rehana, wondering where to post a question about the Experience AI lesson 4? Can't find it easily on the website? I hope you are enjoying Cork!

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

@RaspberryPi_org Where can I find the quick reads posted here? I see the link, but I didn't notice these one-pagers as part of the linked website.

@xuwanghci @HattMr I'd love to learn more about this project and see if it might be available for other schools to use.

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

If you haven't explored teaching Python with @imagilabs, perhaps this one PD participant's final project will inspire you! Julie is an elementary, stem, music, & now Computer Science teacher who took the "Creative Teaching in Python using imagi" PD sponsored by Infosys! *soundon

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

@MITAppInventor @questalliance Wow! Impressive 😊

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

@imagilabs You have to join in and start creating! Come join us at Pathfinders :)

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

@imagilabs You can see how our kids are "stitching" together Python-coded pixel Art with the Imagi charms! And by the way, they used variables, functions, and cool algorithms to make their designs while improving all of their Computational Thinking skills :)

Texas Teachers, we have an outstanding PD ready for you this summer offered through WeTeach_CS. Spend a week remotely w/ the @imagilabs team to learn how to bring an engaging curriculum to your students using Python, Art ->TEKS, ISTE, CSTA standards based lessons! @CstaCentralTX

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

Using MIT's RAICA Picture This curriculum & loving how engaged my Gr7 studs are with it! One student wanted to clarify what bias in datasets meant. Another analyzed features missing in a cat that made Teachable Machine think it was a dog! Great insights,and convo! @csteachersorg

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

Teaching the updated imagi course 1 to my grade 6 students and using the imagi-charms right at the start! Thank you, @imagilabs . Loving the new lessons, students really engaged in conversations about tech and coding!

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

Just in! "Today, we want to let you know that CS First will no longer be available after June 30, 2025. Over the next 3 years, Google is pleased to support the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the development of Experience CS"-- I just subscribed! @csteachersorg

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

Students are trying to analyze the datalogger- Makecode Step Counter Project. We thought x was side to side, the y, "jumping up and down" and perhaps the z moving forward. How do we validate our assumptions. Ran experiments but totally confused! HELP :) https://t.co/LyajNgUiRE

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

Another core value, "Go Forth and Spread Beauty and Light"

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

Celebrating my students' projects on our school's core values. Students were tasked to design an image in Python using @imagilabs that they felt represented a school core value meaningful to them. Here is 1 team's representation of "United We Help One Another" @csteachersorg

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

@MITAppInventor @SelimTezel @MitRaise @DubaiHAcademy I would love to hear morel about the robot dogs!

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

@saraevogel @CUNY Congratulations Sara!

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

@microbit_edu Great projects! Thanks for sharing:)

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

@dcbriccetti @csteachersorg Thx

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

Curious & interested to know what does a Computer Science Middle School classroom look like? Do students bring their own device or do we still have desktops in the technology / CS classroom? What devices are they using? Are they working at tables or desks? @csteachersorg

[Kelly Powers @kelpowers5]

@AllieBBogart @csteachersorg @microbit_edu @Sphero Thanks!
