  1. At Climatematch Academy, we run global courses with team activities, TAs, learning pods, and projects…but we also share all the learning materials to everyone.

    Whether you're an instructor, student, or independent learner, you can access modular, CC-BY licensed materials and learn about computational tools and techniques in #ClimateScience

    🤓 Explore the materials: buff.ly/ihYUvXy

  2. It's teacher Tuesday!!

    Hey #STEMeducation teachers, unlock your students' learning with a complete beginner microcontroller curriculum using #Arduino C/C++ or #MicroPython.

    See the curriculum overview: docs.google.com/document/d/1Da

    Get all of the lesson activities: github.com/mirobotech

  3. The five short films of Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops educate viewers on key feedback loops greatly accelerating climate change.

    Our free lessons for this series cover the important ecological roles of forests, permafrost, atmosphere. albedo, and regreening. The regreening lesson is solutions-focused and full of hope!

    These lessons are designed for gr 9-12 and adult/higher ed. The lessons & films are all free.

  4. Are your students worried about climate tipping points?

    We have a great teaching resource to help you put climate news like the article below into context in your classroom. 👇

  6. Here is a prototype I made (with Berlin spy museum in mind as future client).
    It's a simple DIY encryption device made using conuctive tape.

    Decrypting works like this:
    Rotate the paper disk into position, matching the encrypted letter to the black triangle. Then press the button provided with the encrypted letter. An LED will illuminate the decrypted letter. Encrypting works the same but reverse. How you make the connections is your "key".

  7. I am prototyping paper airplanes usinge the idea of 3D-printing directly to thin paper and then cutting the parts for assembly.
    I also tried using a 3D-pen. Both ways work and the planes fly pretty well. Next up: bigger plane + supercap-motor unit.

    The idea is inspired by a recent video of Tom Stanton.

    Why yes, this is a robot controlling NeoPixels!

    I just shared a NeoPixel capstone starter project in #MicroPython for BEAPER Nano and BEAPER Pico (Arduino versions coming soon).

    It's part of my beginner learning activities – find them all here: github.com/mirobotech

  9. 🐵 Celebrate Be Kind to Animals Week with film! We have classroom-ready lessons and hands-on activities to kindle a love of all creatures great and small. Explore the worlds of bugs, chimpanzees, whales and more with our Celebration of Nature lessons collection for grades 3-7.

    These resources make it a breeze to boost student engagement with award-winning films like Jane (about Dr. Jane Goodall), The Love Bugs, The Wild, and Whale Rider. These films are also great for end of the year classes. 💕

    "No kyber crystal required, so my droids are much easier for a young Jedi to build than a lightsaber."
    – John (Chief human at mirobo.tech)

    To practice the coding force, mirobo has shared a complete set of beginner learning activities, like this one for BEAPER Pico: github.com/mirobotech/BEAPER-P

    Wanna learn to program microcontrollers? I have the droids you're looking for!

    Save 20% on ARPS-2 and BEAPER kits until May 10 using code MAYDAY10 on @lectronz – and May the 4th be with you! 🤖 Beep, boop!

  12. It turns out that there’s not always good reasons for what we do – particularly for what governments do! In fact, there are good reasons to stop doing them. Dingoes and land management, climate change, deforestation and many many more issues require us to examine the evidence – evidence we already have – and change our ways.

  13. Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! If you're an #electronics teacher in need of a quick #microcontroller project, I can save you!

    I have a limited number of pre-built BEAPER Pico prototype circuits. Learn programming! Make an IoT device! Build a robot! Contact me for details: mirobo.tech/contact

    Please boost to your #STEMeducation teacher friends!

  16. Veroboard to the rescue. The current assignment for the course I'm doing insists on a hand drawn graph for one of the questions and not a single fucking shop here sells graph paper (and online delivery isnt guaranteed before the deadline).

    At least I've got an evenly spaced grid that I can plot my fucking data points on.

  17. I've also uploaded #MicroPython capstone starter templates for an analog monitor program and a memory game! Find them in the Beginner Activities folders for BEAPER Nano and BEAPER Pico: github.com/mirobotech

    More to come next week! 😎 💻
