Congratulations to our Founder, Mitch Resnick, on receiving the 2025 #SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education! Your innovations have made an indelible impact around the world, and will continue to inspire young people for generations to come.

MIT launched a free app that empowers kids to be digital creators anytime, anywhere! From the backyard to the beach, OctoStudio is your portable coding playground. 🏡 🏖️🎨 📱Download for free: https://t.co/zmpWVN8Pyt #kidsactivities #learningthroughplay

Children around the world are using our OctoStudio app to design, create, experiment, and express themselves creatively on mobile devices. Read about it in our new Hello World article:

Mind already blown on day -1 of the #Ecsite2024 conference! We are collaborating with the makers at @kersnikova institute for a preconf. Their hacker/maker space is amazing. @Ecsite #Tinkering

Alaina Carter i Sunny Dawn Summers, acompanyades de @entrena_sandra ens parlen de la importància del "lloc" físic i cultural del que formes part, que és identitat i pertinença. Eix central del #abp i de les relacions significatives d'una comunitat. @NewHarmonyHigh #steamconfbcn

🚨Fantastic collection of Tinkering ideas coming this October!! Congrats @ryanejenkins to publishing #thetinkeringworkshop #Tinkering

👏👏👏 Not enough people know about the amazing creations by #KeithNewstead ! So great to see that his #Gormenghast automaton will be on display this summer at the Royal Cornwall Museum. #Tinkering #automata #art

In honor of Jan Hawkins, I'll be giving a talk about the role of joy in our equity-oriented, community-engaged design and research work with youth, families, and educators. Join me Sun, April 14 at 11:25am at #AERA2024 Learn more about Jan Hawkins here: https://t.co/9kotMatdRL

Making images of the sun with pegboard during the solar eclipse. An exploratorium favorite #Eclipse2024 #pinholeimage #pegboard @exploratorium

MIT Press just published my paper on "Generative AI and Creative Learning: Concerns, Opportunities, and Choices". My ideas are still evolving: comments and suggestions welcome!

This year, you can share your tinkering, art, and science projects at #Ecsite2024 in our pop-up maker space! Early bird tickets available until March 13 #MakeEcsite #Tinkering @kersnikova @Ecsite

Interested in experimenting with mirrors, kaleidoscopic patterns, and coding yourself? Here is a resource which includes practical tips and examples for getting started: https://t.co/Ft1zFqLWSF #Tinkering #Coding #STEAM (2/2)

Instead of giving a keynote at the @RedeBdeAC conference in Brazil, I chose to engage participants in a hands-on way. Read about prototyping a new digital tinkering activity with educators - KaleidosCode (1/2): https://t.co/6gTBqcQ9b4 @TinkeringStudio @OctoStudioApp #Tinkering

We are busy getting ready for our exhibition opening at The Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro at the end of this month. Max & Patrick have completed some surgery on The Peacock (Keith Newstead, 1991) and it is now working beautifully ready for it's trip to Cornwall.

"The CBAC conference in São João Del Rei [Brazil] was fantastic! Experimenting with @OctoStudioApp [@LLKgroup 's new creative coding platform]" - Shout out to educators like @ktia_araujo from Minas Gerais, Brazil, who embrace new ways of teaching & inspire their communities👏 !

Check out this creative coding project inspired by an @exploratorium exhibit we love called Hole Saw Rhythms! Then, use OctoStudio to make your own sound patterns 🔊🪇and projects inspired by Exploratorium exhibits https://t.co/syN20dyrQr

🌟Magic is brewing in Hastings, UK, thanks to the incredible vision and dedication of Sarah, Max & Lisa from @CabaretMT. Stay tuned for events at Mechanical Making Space Hastings and catch us at #Ecsite2024 conference where @TinkeringStudio + @CabaretMT will join forces! @Ecsite

One week to go before #Ecsite2024 registration opens! Share your expertise, learn from one another and make valuable professional connections at the 2024 Ecsite Conference, 5-8 June. 📆 Registration opens 14 February https://t.co/zh4bYlQuO4 #Ecsite #scicomm

I was so delighted to see the playful and joyful OctoStudio Explorations page from our friends at the @TinkeringStudio, with lots of wonderful examples of how to combine @OctoStudioApp code with physical materials for creative expression!

Emojiscope! It was only a matter of time after playing with mirrors and coding on the phone😁 There are lots of ways to tinker with kaleidoscopes. Adding animation & motion is my favorite now and it's super easy with the #OctoStudio app. #Kaleidoscope @OctoStudioApp #tinkering
