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
