Time for a rest and then back to the CRESTEM @ KCL research on Monday 😀 Everyone in the photo is meant to have their heads down playing video games btw!

I was today years old when I learnt at the Scratch Team conference that importing an animated gif into #scratch creates a sprite where each frame of the animation is a separate costume! Pretty cool 🤓 #caschat #csk8



I’ve been fortunate to attend and present at plenty of conferences, but this is my first time having a poster at a proper researchy event! It has been great to discuss my King's School of Education Communication & Society study and the #UKICER attendees have been extremely supportive 😀
