Sarah Townson @isioviel.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Computing education folks - can anyone suggest resources for learning Lua for 14 year olds? My normal sources of tutorials don't have anything (e.g. @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social)! I was asked during a Python workshop last week & would love to be able to get back to her with some advice! 010

Sarah Townson @isioviel.bsky.social · 28/03/2025This was such a great day! Well done to the whole team for putting it all together, I was very impressed (and am definitely planning to use some of the resources with my groups too!) 010
Sarah Townson @isioviel.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Yay my new robot design is all up & running! 🤖 sorted out the power issues (switched to 18650 batteries, seems to be working 🤞) 🤖 3D printed a connector for the grabbing servo (only took 9 revisions 🤣) All ready for April's computing club (well, this one is... 15 more robots to upgrade!) 051

Sarah Townson @isioviel.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Woohoo my PCBs arrived! 🌬️ Air Quality Monitor breakout board for Science Oxford, in prep for a computing club 🎭 Some round 'learn to solder' boards to use for practice that they can decorate ☕ Shiny teacup board just for me 😂 020

I'm after ideas for what they can use as a framework to support the pixels to stay in place, please 🙂 @geekmomprojects.com @lmcunderwood.bsky.social 331
Sarah Townson @isioviel.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Happy St Patrick's Day! ☘️ I crocheted an unnecessary number of shamrocks (already given a few away!) because the pattern was very pleasing 😂 120
Sarah Townson @isioviel.bsky.social · 15/03/2025I'm very happy with how this year's Computing Club Project is going! Code is working 🤞 so I'm finalising the CAD workshop. Waiting for v2 of my PCB so I can transfer the measurements to TinkerCAD for the young people to create their own. Excited to see what creative designs they come up with 😁 192
Sarah Townson @isioviel.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Making the most of my day off by baking matcha cookies to enjoy while I do my Japanese homework! It's my third time attempting matcha cookies, two different recipes, always bland 👎 (though I doubled the matcha!). They look pretty though 😁🍵 031
