@biglesp @PiWarsRobotics @tomshardware Looks like it was a huge success. Wish I could have made it this year. Need to make it next year.

@CannonFodder @recantha @TheMagPi @usedbytes What’s the red thing on the front of Brian2? Also can you get replacement motors for the Tiny4WD, I went and damaged a gearbox swapping the wheels.

[Bill Harvey @PiCodeandChips]

@CannonFodder @usedbytes Looks amazing, well done.

@Colin_G_NE Sadly education is only part of the problem. Part of the problem is the broken society and children being brought up in neglectful surroundings. Much of the development that should happen in the families is being pushed to become a problem for schools to resolve.

@BBCWinterwatch after seeing the images yesterday of WagTails on my morning walk in N Devon I spotted a Yellow Wagtail on the river bank. Never seen one before. Beautiful bird and I believe endangered? Sorry no pic.

@ChrisGPackham Well done

@microbit_edu Just taught conditions to Year 5 last term, wish I’d have seen these 😃

[Bill Harvey @PiCodeandChips]

@BBCSpringwatch any idea what these are? I was overjoyed thinking I’d spotted some LadyBirds!! On closer inspection however they’re are something I’ve never seen before.

@Keiron @maddiemoate @BBC_Teach @microbit_edu See if a local school can register and then you borrow them when required?

@rcoultart @janewaite I’ve been running an after school club for years, usually project based, we’ve entered PiWars successfully twice and launched and retrieved a High Altitude Balloon. Currently building a life sized DALEK. I’ve been lucky enough to build and equip a small MakerSpace at school.

@caschat_uk A3 My favourite lessons have been my MicroBit lessons. Whilst I am a big Raspberry Pi fan, with a class size averaging 30, Microbits are great. My best series of lessons with Microbits have been STEM projects (Mars Rover, Battle Bots and Ocean Buoy project)

@SelaineSaxby All I can say is “who on Earth came up with the idea of using Biomass fuel�� I am a Primary school teacher and I’m sure if I put that suggestion to my pupils they would criticise it. Everyone knows the serious issues surrounding climate change, but no none seems serious to fix it.
