The kids at #CityHackerSchool asked for for-loops in Microsoft MakeCode to iterate up and down in arbitrary ranges. No problem, we implemented and released an update to our MakerBit extension during the session!! Works well with TheMakerBit LED blocks.

Wir hatten viel Spaß bei der Code Week Germany! Umgeben von Büchern, begeistert und neugierig, haben wir mit 23 Kindern im Lesetreff Waldbronn micro:bits programmiert. Danke an Meet and Code für die Unterstützung! #meetandcode #codeEU #coding #nonprofits #charities

We had a scientific start into our #Feiertag. We figured out that it is easily possible to build a rotary knob while experimenting with the latest TheMakerBit board and the #microbit magnetometer. #Magnectic sliders also work excellent. #kidswhocode #STEM #MINT

Oops, is my magnetic field broken? This TheMakerBit smart car follows its compass to the north. North is in the direction of the straight lines on the floor. The behavior is reproducible - it's always taking the same weird path. Is that the influence of the underfloor heating?

"Better than programming only." This morning, we enjoyed a Christmas tree tinker workshop with LEDs, copper tape, and only a little blinking support by some #microbits. #GirlsWhoCode #BoysWhoTinker

It's fun to control infrared devices with a micro:bit and an IR LED. The Microsoft MakeCode blocks are published at github.com/1010Technologi… and are also available as part of our official TheMakerBit extension. Would love to see what you do with IR 😍

Lisa is afraid that autonomous cars will drive down the basement stairs. Therefore she removed the ultrasonic sensor from her smart car and installed an IR receiver. Our refreshed TheMakerBit IR extension works well with the new Micro:bit Microsoft MakeCode 2020! #GirlsWhoCode

It's pink! rogerwagner surprised us with a special edition of the TheMakerBit board. Thanks for fulfilling Lisa's wish!! She's already thinking of an LED project with unicorns and princesses.

Big thanks to the amazing computer science teacher Karanfil! She invited me to join and support a couple of virtual coding classes with rogerwagner. It was a great learning experience for me.

A fully engaged group of kids made our first #CodeWeek online workshop a huge success, creating beautifully animated fire engines. Multiple Microsoft MakeCode basic.forever loops proved to be optimal for controlling the LEDs. Many thanks to #meetandcode and TheMakerBit who sponsored us

Our well-known #microbit Halloween ghost refuses to cover its ultrasonic sensor with its facemask. 😱 #Halloween2020 #StaySafe

This weekend I delivered my #meetandcode 3D printing workshop. 100% online, nine boys and girls, webcam pointed to the printer, and a lot of fun and learnings. #Tinkercad is awesome! Afterward, I spent almost a day fixing and troubleshooting my printer. New printer is ordered!🤩

We are running an autonomous driving challenge in our family. Our TheMakerBit smart car is using an ultrasonic sensor to detect drivable space and its #microbit compass to figure out if it is stuck. Perception, planning, and execution in only #42 lines of code. 🙈

I translated the rules of ill gotten games Pocket Tactics to German. It's a fantastic 3D print-and-play strategy board game. #creativecommons philipphenkel.github.io/pocket-tactics…

Full focus on 3D in our #MeetAndCode2021 workshops. Time was flying while the kids designed name tags, dices, houses, and a fantastic collection of cookie cutters. My printer was busy for days to catch up with all the creativity. Kudos to Meet and Code and Tinkercad #MeetAndCode
