The top feature project on Autodesk Instructables today is by my Physical Computing students Noah Priest & Vinith Ayapilla! An accessible driving game they created for children with disabilities in the Campus School at Boston College. Built in #CircuitPython. Students present their accessible tech work today. Congrats Nick & Vin!

In our last class of the semester, Physical Computing students built WiFi-connected robot cars controlled via a web app with commands relayed through MQTT. Cars use $8 RaspberryPi Pico 2W microcontrollers running #CircuitPython. Want to see more coolness? Drop by 245 Beacon St on 4/25 1-3pm in the Protyoing Studio Room 301. The Hatchery Makerspaces at Boston College will be opened up showcasing #SwiftUI iOS apps and maker projects by our students.
