Looking for new funders. BlueJ, Greenfoot and Strype were funded for a long time by Oracle. This has ended, and we are looking for new funding. If you work at a company that wants to do something good, we would love to talk to you. Please repost. bluej.org greenfoot.org strype.org

Traut sich irgendwer, nach dem neuerlichen PISA-Absturz die offensichtliche Frage nach einer Evidenzkrise der Didaktik zu stellen? Inwiefern verhelfen quantitative Methoden aus “Hirnforschung” und kognitiver Psychologie wirklich zu gutem Unterricht?

Yes, computers helped to crack the enigma (we did hear about that at length) but also greatly supported the Nazi regime, for example by selling 1.5 billion punch cards and corresponding machines for censuses. How can it be that CS never discusses this history? www.felienne.nl/2026-10/#tec...

Another incredible use of this tutorial is classifying 25 notes on a piano. Using a 450-50-26 model (I include a backgrounds sample), the results are mind-boggling!! In the list I show the note and how many times out of 331 samples it is predicted. My testing method is in the video. Next I need 1/2
