#WaveOfLight Nine years ago today we found out we were expecting twins; so many hopes and dreams for them both, we never expected we would only be bringing one home. Fly high, little man. #babylossawarenessweek.#babylossawareness.#blaw2024.#BLAW

This is such a great challenge! You can do it at home or in the classroom. My children, aged 6 and 8, took part last year and loved getting their @Astro_Pi certificates! One even took it into school for 'show and tell'. #caschat.#WSW2024.

Thanks to @digitalMakerCIC I've now discovered a fantastic little text-to-speech extension for #microbit in #makecode! To use, just paste in the following when you add an extension: #caschat.#STEMeducation

My 8yo built a junk-model GLaDOS robot from #Portal and programmed it to say random quotes from the game every minute using a #microbit and an @elecfreaks MP3 module! His next plan is to add a PIR sensor to respond to movement!

Now Ferdinand the Furby has a voice, controlled by a #microbit and using an @elecfreaks MP3 module. Hopefully once he has some fur it will muffle the motor noise a little!
