Love the fresh ideas from Backyard Brains - and integrating a MicroBit too!

Check out our intern trying to elicit a response from our Venus flytrap. Turns out, the plant isn't easily fooled. Why do you think he's being so finicky? More on the project 👉 tinyurl.com/VenusFlytrapMe…

#BrainAwarenessWeek2025 is almost here! What exciting activities do you have planned for March 10-16? Make sure to tag us if you're using our kits. 🧠🎊

We joined Bsky - give us a follow if you're there too! Amazing scientific and educator communities hanging out there.

You're looking at a functioning myoelectric robotic prosthetic hand custom-built for a person born without left-hand fingers! The engineer: student Jorge Iglesias Costas from Barcelona, who made it using our EMG sensor from Human Spikerbox. Blog post coming soon! 📷 Jorge IC

🤩 “My goal wasn’t best functioning but low cost, for people who can’t pay more than 200-300 Euros to be able to do simple things like grabbing a cup of coffee or a paper, a ball and the like.” More in our new blog post 👇👇 blog.backyardbrains.com/2025/03/low-co…
