I've been having fun with a #microbit with a 'Halo HD' ring of full-colours LEDs. Here it is running a wave simulator I wrote. #resonance #physicalComputing @microbit.org

AI isn't just digital—it's getting physical. The most mind-blowing projects at South by Southwest this year will bridge the gap between AI and embodied experience.

Think: dance performances where human and AI movements intertwine, or installations where your biodata trains real-time generative art. The screen is dead. Long live embodiment.

@aud I'm just in the process of conceiving a new contemporary computing device. Maybe you'd be interested as a replacement...

It's a cube shaped box, roughly 5-10cm of dimension. At the top there is one big button. If you press it, it vibrates aggressively and through a loudspeaker it says loudly "WHAT THE FUCK!?"
It will be very useful in the coming days, weeks and years. I'm certain people will love it!

Your periodic reminder that #Arduino started with #Wiring, created by Hernando Barragán, with lots of influence from #Processing and that origin should not be hidden/erased.

bei Herbstliche Informatiklehrerfortbildung – HILF! Fakultät für Informatik und Elektrotechnik an der Universität Rostock. Eine Fortbildung für Lehrende. Ich durfte als Gastdozent über und im Unterricht referieren. Selbstverständlich hatte ich meine drei Freunde dabei, Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino UNO und Calliope Mini. Die Teilnehmer eine kleine Wetterstation programmiert und Messdaten erfasst und verarbeitet.

Join our upcoming free #CreativeComputing online session for teachers on Oct 1st at 16:00! Book here: warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch

Children create patterns using @turtlestitch & their patterns can be stitched onto fabric, enabling #manufacturing to take place in the classroom. Children learn coding, problem-solving & resilience.

A stitched pattern made of up lines of triangles, where each triangle is is filled with a swirling pattern of smaller triangles. It uses variegated thread so the triangles appear in different colours.

Our next free #CreativeComputing online session for teachers is now open for booking. 1st Oct 16.00.

It introduces @turtlestitch and its use in the classroom. Children learn coding, problem-solving & resilience, creating patterns that can be stitched onto fabric using an embroidery machine.

Places are free, book here: warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch

Folk is a physical computing system: reactive database, programming environment, projection mapping. Instead of a phone/laptop/touchscreen/mouse/keyboard, your computational objects are physical objects in the real world, and you can program them inside the system itself. folk.computer/

It was great fun attending #snapshot24 and catching up with @jadga @moenig @SnapCloud and #turtlestitch crew.

I shared From Pattern to Code resources, short videos to give ideas for patterns in @turtlestitch

Now, that's for sure and this example shows, that tactile ones are still very welcome! :-)

Powering on #astropi sense HAT for the first time.

8yo (who has been coding against the emulator so far) : "Oh wow, it's a rainbow! Oh look! Each one has a little red, green and blue light in it. Mind blown... It all makes sense now!"
Me: "What makes sense?"
8yo: "the RGB in the code, it's how much red, green and blue for the lights!
...
So, can we show my cat on it now?"

She'd heard the explanation, but actually seeing it... Clicked!
The power of #physicalcomputing.

Thanks @Raspberry_Pi
