August is National Inventor’s Month and we’re celebrating The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. This Netflix film is based on the true story of William Kamkwamba, whose creativity, persistence and courage as a schoolboy provided a solution to devastating drought for his family and eventually many others in his country of Malawi and beyond.
We offer a Discussion Guide and a Curriculum Guide with classroom-ready lessons for this film, to make it easy to work with in different settings. Students can learn more about wind power and the physics of generating electricity, as well as lessons in English Language Arts, Social Studies, Film Studies and more. These are powerful resource to inspire young inventors in your classroom!

In The Way Home, Young Sang-woo doesn’t want to leave Seoul to live with his non-speaking grandmother in the countryside, but his mother leaves him there while she looks for a new job. Fractious and ill-mannered, Sang-woo ignores and taunts his grandmother. When she won’t buy batteries for his toy, he even steals from her. But over time, and in the face of her unquestioning love, he learns to admire and respect her. This film marked the debut of Kdrama star Yoo Seung-ho as Sang-woo.

A tutorial on using PyCharm & Tio with CircuitPython. This is the editor I use for my course. Setup isn't intuitive & there are a few spots that can trip folks up, but I've found it to be the best available editor. Also sharing a tip sheet. Hope this helps some: https://youtu.be/zTRMT5xupRo #CSEd #STEMed

Working with a @raspberrypi pico & #CircuitPython? Here’s an updated tutorial on installing CircUp - a tool for installing & updating libraries. I have all my students use CircUp. It’s great! Hope you find the lesson helpful #csed & #stemed friends. Hack on! https://youtu.be/OD6CqkVaihM?si=3do_SdBY-JULa7xR

Looking forward to speaking to visiting Nord Anglia educators about best practices in #STEMed and my #SwiftUI & #CircuitPython courses. But I agreed to the talk before WWDC was scheduled. It’s at the exact time of the keynote! Happy WWDC day to all who celebrate. I’ll catch up later. Hack on!

Another dark Friday at #NSF today. An entire Divison was RIF'd, many departures through the DRP and VERA programs, and IPA PD's like myself not being renewed. A massive but as yet not completely known restructuring of the agency is underway.
If you are a PI or prospective PI, please know that we are trying our best to be responsive to your needs and to process awards and actions, but it is going to take *a lot* longer right now. Our workloads are going through the roof with these reductions.
