🆘 CAN YOU HELP?! Please share!
Are you a parent/carer, school or organisation that works with young people with physical disabilities?

We are working with @Google and @MSMakeCode to improve the accessibility of block-based programming.

We're seeking young people in London, aged 8 - 14, who rely on keyboards or assistive technology to access a computer to help us in our research.

We are offering £30 as a ‘thank you’ for individuals who take part.

Interested in taking part?
Please send an email to [email protected] expressing your interest

[Micro:bit Educational Foundation @microbit_edu]

🆘 Urgent! We have three translation projects for https://t.co/nbU14SKWQ9 which are all translated and once they are proofread, we can release them - so even more young people can learn to code in their own language.

We specifically need proofreaders for Irish, Malay and Italian. If you can help, or know someone who could - please do get in touch!

Emojiscope! It was only a matter of time after playing with mirrors and coding on the phone😁

There are lots of ways to tinker with kaleidoscopes. Adding animation & motion is my favorite now and it's super easy with the #OctoStudio app. #Kaleidoscope @OctoStudioApp #tinkering
