Yesterday I was delighted to be invited to the #WomenInTech reception at No.10 Downing Street. Opened by Liz Kendall, it was inspiring to be among so many women committed to meaningful change.
I shared WMG #WorkExperience programme, aiming to attract diverse talent into engineering & tech.
A brilliant & energising event. #WMGoutreach #WMGwarwick

Yesterday I attended #BarCampLondon for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were many interesting sessions, creating patterns using p5.js, Savannahhq.com looking at the health of online communities and lots more.
I gave a presentation on #OpenSource #Embroidery, looking at @turtlestitch and @inkstitch
Our #TurtleStitch resources are available here: https://www.warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch
Pleased to have been able to share our @turtlestitch projects at the #Birmingham #ICTforEducation Conference on Friday.
Our #StitchInTime project connects #maths, #computing, and #DesignAndTechnology, empowering children to create, code, and build resilience.
Our #WMGOutreach team is offering a free training session for primary school teachers, to help introduce the principles of #CAD, on 7th November.

Last weekend I attended @oggcamp an #opensource un-conference. The first one since Covid, and the 4th one I have attended.
I gave a presentation on Open Source Embroidery, looking at @turtlestitch and @inkstitch I brought our #WMGoutreach embroidery machine, and several people created their own works of art across the weekend.
Thanks to the crew & sponsors. It was an inspiring and thoughtful experience. Many great talks!
@solderandchaos thank you for sharing links to @inkstitch + @turtlestitch and our resources at #WMGoutreach.
Join our upcoming free #CreativeComputing online session for teachers on Oct 1st at 16:00! Book here: https://www.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.

Want to program a tree in @turtlestitch using #recursion?
Last year's tutorials used variables & repeat loops, but they aren't necessary.

In today's #RoyalInstitution
workshop... Where is #Engineering? #PhilJemmett
asked students to create a smart city.
I loved the sound activated street lights, they light up when they hear your footsteps.
Today we've been running "Where is Engineering?" holiday workshop at the #RoyalInstitution. This is #PhilJemmett leading the session.

Lets celebrate #valentinesday by #programming some flowers in @turtlestitch
This method makes a petal block. I've used a traditional shape, but you can create any petal design, and make unique flowers.
