MicroPython slithers its way into the Arduino ecosystem! 🐍
Today, we're excited to announce the availability of MicroPython firmware for Arduino boards as well as the new Arduino Lab for MicroPython. blog.arduino.cc/2022/11/10/m…
ECS/ITF have been learning about computer components, what they do, and how to troubleshoot. They successfully tore down their computers, rebuilt them, and they all still worked! #bmsteched #admiralbyrd #VTEEA @MaryBethEchev @ABMSPrincipal @jim_angelo_1969
ECS/ITF Ss got some hands on experience dismantling and reassembling Chromebooks. They had a BLAST! A huge shout out to Mr. Douglas for leading the lesson! #bmsteched #VTEEA #admiralbyrd @MaryBethEchev @ABMSPrincipal @jim_angelo_1969 @fcpsk12

The Exploring CS / IT Fundamentals class created some great designs. They use hexadecimal to code red, green, and blue values to create an image. This one is Rick Astley in 8 bit form! @ABMSPrincipal @BretClovis @KellyMalinowsk4 @MaryBethEchev @jim_angelo_1969 #vteea #bmsteched

A quick introduction to the Engineering Design Process led to some incredible results! This structure made with 1 piece of paper & 4" of tape held 114 lbs before failing! #bmsteched #admiralbyrd #design #VTEEA @ABMSPrincipal @MaryBethEchev

After learning HTML and CSS, 8th-grade CS students created their own multi-page websites with @codeorg. Check out this one! bit.ly/39Byo1E #bmsteched #admiralbyrd #VTEEA @MaryBethEchev @ABMSPrincipal @AngelaArdys @fcpsk12 @jim_angelo_1969 @juliette_myers
8th-grade Ss learned about circuits, basic components, Ohm's Law, and soldering to create the circuit for their light boxes. #bmsteched #admiralbyrd #VTEEA #electronics @AngelaArdys @ABMSPrincipal @MaryBethEchev @missymcdonald10
8th-grade Ss learned to manipulate vectors for laser cutting in Adobe Illustrator to design their light boxes. Here is the first run! #bmsteched #graphics #design #admiralbyrd #VTEEA #epiloglaser @AngelaArdys @MaryBethEchev @ABMSPrincipal @DivEdSys
A huge shout out to FCPS network engineers Mr. Kilmer and Ms. Underwood for sharing their time and knowledge with our ECS/ITF Ss today! Ss got to see a com room + learn more about networks and network engineering! #computer #network @MaryBethEchev @missymcdonald10 @KenMelnikoff
