I have a @beebotco project I’m working on, but need a custom field, so I created these laser cut puzzle tiles that fit together in any configuration. Excited for the next step.

Cardboard to drawing to robotic movement. This is a little passion project to use with the Micro:bit Educational Foundation . This year I’m trying to document my process more so that I can share it with students to help with prototyping.

Working on a servo scissor mechanism. this is a great way to show transfer of rotational movement into lateral movement. The servo only turns 180 degrees, the gears move 2.5 cm, but the arm moves about 10cm - 4 times the movement.

My design process from initial sketch, to vector file creation in @inkscapeofficial and finally cutting on the Cricut . It’s nice to see it all in one sequence. Cricut_sgmy

What messages do we send students in relation to digital citizenship, modelling the behaviours we want is so important. Thank you Danai Maramba SSIS

I’m lucky enough to be at the symposium in Singapore helped create this idea wall. If you’ve ever been in an office I’ve worked in in the last 10 years you will have seen a version of this, it was really exciting to share it with others.

The “Doorknob Guard Dog” got a fancy facelift using the Glowforge . We will use this example to show students how you can increase resolution while still using the same material.

These precedent studies for dowels allow students to work out the best sizes independently. We made a lot of such things at @themv_mde, so grateful to have worked at cody carroll it's an amazing school.

I’m using this image to talk to students about the prototyping process I use - 1 draw and revise - 2 cheap recycled materials check fit and revise - 3 final product in high quality material.

The Auto Chime Dinging Noise-O-Meter powered by Micro:bit Educational Foundation , uses a microphone sensor to determine when the servo should whack the chime. A simple but really rewarding project.

I saw this servo linear actuator idea online & designed one myself, cut on Glowforge. It was fiddly to get some of the sizing correct, but worth it. Excited for some Micro:bit Educational Foundation projects to use it on.
