Someone's on the @Raspberry_Pi blog this morning. There's educational merit in a Python-controlled, talking, missile-firing, Grinch, honest!.

Mr McKay is cooler than your computer science teacher because he has created a missile-firing Grinch for his classroom.

So, this happened. I'm going to be Acting Faculty Head of Business & Computing (0.2 FTE) every Wednesday for a while. That will be different!

Happy Glow password reset day to Scottish teachers, and the school Glow admins who have to reset them again.

Something I 3D printed for my classroom, since we're back soon (not my design - found on Bambu).

My first time flying full manual #fpv after using the motion controller until now. Just getting stable flight took a while in the simulator!

I've only had my #DJINeo properly for a couple of weeks, but it's got more airborne time this week than my bigger drone has in the last year (M3 Pro) 😬. I'm using the Goggles N3 and motion controller (for now). Most fun flying with a drone since I got my first Spark in 2019 🪦

I've gone and bought a DJI Neo. Also got a Tello - at what point does it become a squadron?. It's meant to complement the Mini 3 Pro indoors and (gently) get me into zoomy indoor FPV stuff 🫡

Yesterday I bought an EV. There's no text to go with these pictures on the charging instructions. I think it means:. 1) Don't use it as a skipping rope.2) Don't decapitate a dog.

As we get into the week of the N5 and Higher Computing exams, here are past paper videos - in case anyone needs them and doesn't have the link. (I mainly started it for Higher, but the N5 ones tend to get more views!).

Also today, my S4s and S5s accidentally discovered Artificial General Intelligence. kinda. It's almost like someone added this to the system instructions of my N5 and Higher Computing revision bots. #AprilFoolsDay
