Hedy Hopper Lovelace @teacherofcomputing.bsky.social · 14/02/2026I’ve tried to make 6-7 uncool for my Y9s by using it. Didn’t work. Not a bit. Backfired actually. They think I‘m cool now. 😑 010
Hedy Hopper Lovelace @teacherofcomputing.bsky.social · 13/03/2025My favourite page as a child was this one though. The ad for the book said: “It even has a printer that does what all printers do.

![Still from a coyote/roadrunner cartoon. Roadrunner standing on a ledge blowing a raspberry to the coyote who’s just run over the ledge looking worriedly back at the roadrunner.
Above the roadrunner is a textbox which says
while [not edge] {run();}
Above the coyote is another textbox which says
