Loving the collision of my art and programming and education interests with… stitching and needlework #oggcamp2026 @megjlow

Yesterday I attended #WomenInTech at No.10 Downing Street. Opened by Liz Kendall, it was inspiring to be among so many women committed to meaningful change. I shared WMG #WorkExperience attracting diverse talent into eng & tech. A brilliant & energising event. #WMGoutreach @wmgwarwick.bsky.social

A @microblocks.bsky.social and @snap workshop during a @coderdojotilburg.bsky.social meeting today.

We're #hiring a Program Manager for the #SovereignTechFund! We’re looking for experienced project managers to support our work investing in critical #digitalinfrastructure. You’ll evaluate technologies & work closely with the #opensource communities that build them. 1/2

Blue Tit versus Bee. A Blue Tit exploring our nesting box had an unpleasant surprise and made an emergency exit when they encountered a large bee that has taken up residence. #BirdingUK #Spring2026 #GardenWildlife #BlueTit #BirdsOfBluesky #SpringWatch

I loved the energy in the Create‑a‑Critter workshop at #FosdemJunior #fosdem Children explored @turtlestitch.bsky.social coding and decorated a colourful range of imaginative critters (with a little help from their parents). @fosdem.org My #TurtleStitch resources: www.warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch

We had a creative time making trees and tree patterns in @turtlestitch.bsky.social at #Fosdem There are two more workshops for young people tomorrow at #fosdemjunior - creating critters and flowers and stars. All my #turtlestitch resources are here: www.warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch

Enjoying @jmoenig.bsky.social musical workshop at #Fosdem #Fosdemjunior using Snap!

@fosdem junior has started 🥳

Because it can get very hot in the workshop rooms during @fosdem.org Junior, I made a little MIT App Inventor app that is receiving data from a databot sending the CO2 level, temperature and humidity every 10 seconds. I used @microblocks.bsky.social to program the databot.

Yeah, 20 new 8-bit pixel emojis have been added to CoCube using @microblocks.bsky.social, and the display scale can be set!😎😘😆🤩🤯🥶🥵 I believe that with these anthropomorphic emojis, children can have more willingness to express and create! #CoCube #MicroBlocks #Emoji #8bit #pixelart #STEM #Scratch

Bookmarks embroidered using @turtlestitch.bsky.social are all ready to go to @fosdem.org . Looking forward to meeting the people behind and supporting these beautiful creative software environments @jmoenig.bsky.social @microblocks.bsky.social @petermathijssen.bsky.social @4pip.bsky.social

Getting ready for the @microblocks.bsky.social workshops during @fosdem.org.

The materials for @fosdem.org Junior are ready! In 2026, Kathy and other friends from @microblocks.bsky.social will be hosting the CoCube football challenge workshop once again! If your children are between 7 and 17 years old, make sure to bring them to join the event! fosdem.org/2026/news/20...

Wishing everyone a lovely Christmas break! We made our own tree decorations during the first Covid Christmas lockdown, a crocheted star, a beaded DNA helix & pi, and tiny knitted ganseys. It’s always nice to see them again at this time of year. #Christmas2025 #NewYear2026

This morning’s sunrise on the Warwick campus was a truly beautiful and immersive experience, as the sky erupted in a riot of colours. Simply breath taking! #Warwick60 #Sunrise @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social @wmgwarwick.bsky.social

At #Snapcon25 Andrea and Joek share their reflections on the #TurtleStitch10 meet up in #Tilburg. We celebrated 10 years of #creativecoding in #turtlestitch - which is built on #Snap, created by @jmoenig.bsky.social #computing #embroidery www.turtlestitch.org

Enjoying @jmoenig.bsky.social keynote at #Snapcon25 showing how #Snap functionality can be used in a natural way for humans. #computing #maths

Its been fantastic catching up with everyone at #SnapCon25 lots of interesting ideas about how to use Snap! in #education. Joek van Montfort exploring #TurtleStitch as a bridge between #maths and #computing. #Snap

Valerie Barr says what a lot of CS teachers are thinking. cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/fee...

Really impressed by the brilliant designs created by #TMIP25 participants at our Geometry, Code and #Embroidery workshop today with @philjemmett.bsky.social I'm running a free online introductory workshop 17th Sept 4–5pm. Registration & resources: www.warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch #maths #computing

Hope everyone else is having a great time at #tmip25. One thing I love is how much of the discussion on the hashtag is about the mathematical music last night, and the mathematical art on display - proof if it were needed that creativity and mathematics go hand in hand

Excited to be part of the maths art exhibition at Talking Maths in Public at the University of Warwick!! 🧶 🧮 #MathSky #embroidery #handembroidery #TMiP2025 #TMiP25

time to celebrate ten years of turtlestitch together My friend Joek von Montfort rang yesterday from the Netherlands, a quick call to check something for a conference he is organising in July. In Tilburg. To celebrate ten years of #turtlestitch. Ten years since Andrea Mayr-Stalder amazed us all […]

Today we went to the University of Warwick and did some embroidery with @megjlow.bsky.social. You use Scratch to draw the patterns and then they get stitched. #TeamCompSci

We had a fantastic time at the #ResonateFestival of Arts at the @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social, running StitchInTime activity! Children used @turtlestitch.bsky.social to create designs. Thank you to WMG colleagues for running the activity. #TurtleStitch #STEAM #Embroidery #CreativeCoding #WMGoutreach
