Testing out an ultrasonic sensor with #Scratch and #RaspberryPi. Looks like a promising new addition to @learningstem's Raspberry Pi summer camp! @edgemakers #sensors #prototyping #summercamp

[Morgan Ostrander @mg_ostrander]

Our @learningstem team gave tech workshops at the Mayor's Expo this week! We used #robots and the #microbit to help us recycle. ♻ Thrilled to be at the beautiful central @calgarylibrary. Thanks @cityofcalgary for having us again this year! #mayorexpo #yyc #yycnow

[Morgan Ostrander @mg_ostrander]

Tomorrow is the last #GoGeomatics meetup before the summer! Join us at 6pm at the @BankandBaron to catch up. Let us know what you'd like to see in the fall! https://t.co/h5rQayluti #geomatics #gis #meetup #yyc #yycnow

That’s a lot of people onstage — musicians with chorus and choir, warming up for the dress rehearsal for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in Concert this weekend. https://t.co/017euMdNtc

[Morgan Ostrander @mg_ostrander]

So excited to be singing in the chorus! 😃 #LOTR #soundtrack #yycMusic #yycevents

[Calgary Phil @CalgaryPhil]

Did the forecast rain on your long weekend plans? We've got you covered (literally). The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers™ in Concert, 17, 18 + 19 May under shelter @itsallatthejube. Watch the full film with live orchestra + chorus! https://t.co/042MRJSOE2

Had a great time teaching a coding class for girls with @SuzannePresinal through @learningstem on Sat! "Bring a Girl to STEM Day" gives girls a chance to try coding & robotics. Special thanks to @Villageicecream for providing delicious treats! #kidscoding #GirlsCanCode #yyc #STEM

[Morgan Ostrander @mg_ostrander]

Excited to be co-hosting a "geo" trivia night through GoGeomatics Calgary! It's happening tomorrow, Wed Apr 24 at 7pm at the Bank & Baron pub downtown. Hope to see you there! https://t.co/8GLlt28tQM @GoGeomatics #Meetup #GIS #geomatics #YYC #yycevents #trivia

Working on a cipher project with #RaspberryPi. The code encrypts a message by shifting the letters forward in the alphabet, then prompts the user to guess the shift and reveal the phrase. The LCD screen is a nice bonus! @learningstem #circuits #Python #yyc #coding #cryptography

[Morgan Ostrander @mg_ostrander]

Excited to be a guest educator this week for a @WICYYC comp sci class! We are learning #Python programming through #RaspberryPi. We controlled circuits with the gpiozero library to make our RGB lights change colour! @learningstem #electronics #programming #learntocode

[Chic Geek @ChicGeekYYC]

Are robots really competing for our jobs? We're a week away from our next #MeetnTech where we explore Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and how intelligent machines, robots, AI and big data power the products and services we consume. Get your ticket now! https://t.co/UBgjT2B98G

The final design for the guest book #lettering for a friend's wedding this summer! Next step: digitize. #yycwedding #yyc #calligraphy #wedding #handmade

3D-printing some pieces for a wearable tech #homeschool class. I'm a big fan of this translucent filament - it should be perfect for creating illuminated pieces! @learningstem @gcherkowski @PrintYourMind3d @SuzannePresinal #3Dprinting #WearableTech #Wearables #yyc

[Morgan Ostrander @mg_ostrander]

We used audio samples from @Sonic_Pi to create a variety of sounds for our music boxes. The students also coded their own music! @gcherkowski #STEAM #RaspberryPi #kidscoding #Python

[Morgan Ostrander @mg_ostrander]

We're getting creative in @learningstem's #RaspberryPi after-school class! Today we wired our own "music boxes". Press a button, and a #Python script triggers a sound! @Raspberry_Pi has a marvellous tutorial here: https://t.co/NwPrM8KUfb #scripting #gpiozero @WICYYC
