I need your help. When I'm making projects happen, I don't have as much time to remind people to buy merch/donate to Skype a Scientist. SO our balance sheet is...oh dear 😅 If you're able, becoming a monthly donor, even a couple bucks a month, would be really amazing. givebutter.com/SupportSAS26

It's finally time for #microbitlive! So excited to be here! @microbit.org

Great to be back in Barcelona for a few days! Wandered the Gothic Quarter, visited MOCO Barcelona, and ate a ton of amazing food...

Getting ready for another round of Minecraft Education ⛏️ We are making houses 🏡, rollercoasters 🎢, an aquarium 🐠 and making it rain pandas, all with code! 🐼 If you would like a 🆓 copy of these worksheets hit like, repost and comment on this post! #TeamCompSci

Teachers 👋 Give coding a Christmas 🎄 theme by having learners make Lazy Santa 🎅 on the @microbit.org Santa has to fly by and drop presents from his sleigh into chimneys as he got up very late! Check the YT description for a link to a 🆓 worksheet 👉 youtube.com/shorts/JnadI... #teamcompsci

Alrght everybody, get your Tin Can Telephones out. We need your help! We reach new people by word of mouth. Send all your educator friends this pic! Teachers, librarians, scout troop leaders, etc! We offer our program for free, so we need help getting the word out without advertising $$.

Alright I have something useful for you to do. Think of any teachers and librarians you know. Do they know about Skype a scientist? Our program matches classrooms & other groups w/scientists for virtual Q&As. It’s free! They can sign up here! www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html #Edusky #StemED

🕹️ I've had lots of fun playing with #MakeCodeArcade recently. Just finished a little Flappy Bird clone (except it's Flappy Duck) and currently working on Tetris. (Hoping to get round to making some guide-sheets soon too!) 👉 arcade.makecode.com/S05362-73372...

Took a break from setting up all the things we need to live in Bangkok for the next 2 (or more) years and checked out the Grand Palace and Temple of the Emerald Buddha...

WE DID IT!!! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who filled bubbles! @skypeascientist.bsky.social works because lots of people work together. Lots of people volunteer. Lots of people tell their teacher friends. And lots of people donate! ❤️ Thank you to everyone who makes our program possible ❤️

It’s that time again! Time for our 7th annual United States of Science Challenge! Each bubble on this map represents classrooms we matched w/scientists this year. $10 donations fill bubbles! The first region to fill in all of their bubbles wins! Fill bubbles here! givebutter.com/USS2025

That's 2 circles for Texas! Cannot recommend Skype-a-Scientist highly enough! Such a valuable and inspiring experience for students...

We match scientists with classrooms, scout troops, libraries, summer camps, and more for virtual Q&As about science! Tell the organizers in your life! We match once a week, all summer long 🧪 Sign up here: www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

Good stuff this week from the Sinclair 5th graders! Moving masterpieces made with @microbit.org #edusky

Friends don’t let friends participate in AI “art” trends without giving them at least a little shit. If your friend had spinach in their teeth you’d tell them. This is the spinach-in-teeth of art. Also? AI art is BAD for the environment, in terms of energy use, water use, and other resources!!

Make like a nudibranch and slooow down in our latest installment of Krill Waves Radio! 🎧 Settle with spectacular sea slugs as they sway to soothing lo-fi beats: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOeQ...

I cannot recommend Skpe a Scientist highly enough! Amazing program and the students absolutely love getting to talk to "a real, live scientist". #Edusky

Ok the squid facts hotline has officially made it into a poem and I am utterly delighted. Poem by instagram user @/MaryOliversDrunkCousin

The 3rd graders did an amazing job sharing their interactive science poster projects with kindergarten last Friday! Made with Scratch and Makey Makey.

Round 4 in the Sinclair ES STEM lab has been pretty great... read about it here: bquentin.blogspot.com/2025/01/stem...
