Phew! Six python programs finished and submitted to #astropi mission zero. All written using iPads over 4 weeks by year 5 students. Well done team #codeclub 🛰️ !!!! #teamcompsci
Dr Jane Waite welcomes educators to RPF for a day of collaboration on teaching AI

New paper alert! What We Talk About When We Talk About K-12 Computing Education looks at why we teach computing and proposes four traditions for computing education at the school level : algorithmic, scientific, societal and design-making. Read moreL computingeducationresearch.org/blog-why-tea...
Am I the only one to go into hibernation mode in January? I fell like everyone is working out and eating healthy and I’m under a duvet snacking leftover Christmas chocolate.
Some christmas sparkle at our last #codeclub of 2024! Using #microbit and #neopixels. #teamcompsci #edusky @codeclub.bsky.social @microbit.org
Have you discovered #turtlestitch? Write code to create your design and it can be stitched by an embroidery machine. Try creating a #Christmas tree. Get started with these tutorials: www.warwick.ac.uk/turtlestitch/patterntocode#A1

How are you using gen AI tools to teach #computing in your classroom? I’m looking for ideas that go beyond ‘knowledge acquisition’ and ‘debugging’ to something more detailed! #TeamCompSci #CAS #EduSky
Free Christmas Computer Science-themed puzzles pack (available for A4 & US Letter printers; versions for school teachers & home educators) from @cs4fn.bsky.social. Pack also includes solutions & teachers' notes, if you want to talk about computing :)

The Micro:bit Educational Foundation just launched micro:bit #CreateAI 🎉! microbit.org/ai/. I love it for playful, physical & creative learning about ML. Use movement data to train/test a model, then use that model in #MakeCode to make an AI thing! Mad excited to see what people make! #microbit
The study is currently in peer review for wider publication. I’ll share more once the process is complete.
I have a whole new series of #HTTCS the #podcast coming soon, with guests including @beccip.bsky.social, Pete Dring,, @advanced-ict.info, @msbclarke.bsky.social and more.
Check out the first ten episodes here:

Solving a Queens puzzle by applying one rule at a time through pattern matching
The logic of Queens
Queens is a simple logic puzzle LinkedIn uses to draw you back daily. Doing daily puzzles is good both for mental health and to build logical thinking skills. Its mainly about pattern matching skills rather than logic though!

Go team!!! 📣
A great CAS community event just popped up on my feed. Soubds really interesting. #teamcompsci #edusky. www.computingatschool.org.uk/events/2024/...
Just arrived and looking great
A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #6,166,543, Carrie Anne Philbin MBE @missphilbin.bsky.social, joined on Aug 15, 2024"
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,166,543! 🤷♀️
I just heard that I'll be presenting my #computing education research at the Cambridge Generative AI in Education Conference in October. Exciting times! #TeamCompSci #PhDlife onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/conferences-...
Yesterday was the deadline for my masters dissertation and today I received my Cambridge login details. The PhD journey is beginning to feel a bit more real 😬 #transitions #cseducation #edusky
Wow. What a fascinating conversation about AI and ethics. I think im a little bit in love with Anca Dragan. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/g... #deepmind #aieducation #cseducation #computing

I'm going to try and champion a few of my favourite #MakeCode for #microbit blocks that don't seem to get as much love as (I think 😅) they deserve! Hopefully others doing #computing in #TeamCompSci will have their own #faveblocks
I’ll send you a copy. I’m planning on sharing the key findings on socials.
Good luck. I have myself an earlier deadline so I can go on holiday and not think about it!
#PhD thoughts...If we have great pedagogical practices ( long standing with solid evidence) and tech adopts these practices and uses #teachers to provide the backbone of these practices and integrates them into a technology.
Is the tech working or the teaching practice ?
Today I submitted my masters dissertation of original research into students beliefs about computing education with generative AI.
I thought I’d feel relieved that it was complete but I feel really anxious like a child has left home. Is this normal?

A key insight was: “Cohort-based analysis is a more informative way to gauge the extent to which each group is entering a field, independent of larger demographic shifts in the student population.” Does this resonate in secondary school do we think?
This week I’ve been reading an interesting article in communications of the acm on visualisation in broadening participation in Computing: cacm.acm.org/research/vis...
